1 Chronicles 3:17

_AND THE SONS OF JECONIAH; ASSIR, SALATHIEL HIS SON,_ The sons of Jeconiah; Assir. This word does occur as the name of a person, Exodus 6:24; 1 Chronicles 6:22. But Bertheau suggests that Assir is joined to Jeconiah, and then, being taken as a common noun, the translation will be, 'Jeconiah the captive or prisoner' (cf. Isaiah 10:4; Isaiah 24:22; Isaiah 42:7). This record of his condition was added to show that Salathiel was born during the captivity in Babylon (cf,...

Verse 1 Chronicles 3:17. _THE SONS OF JECONIAH_] Jeremiah has said (Jeremiah 22:30) that Jeconiah, or, as he calls him, _Coniah_, should be _childless_; but this must refer to his _posterity_ being deprived of the throne, and indeed thus the prophet interprets it himself: _For no man of his seed shall prosper,_ _sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah_. _ASSIR_] Salathiel was not the son of _Assir_, but of Jeconiah, Matthew 1:12. Who then was _Assir_? Possibly _nobody_; for as the Hebrew אסר _assir_ signifies a _prisoner_, it may be considered as an epithet of Jeconiah, who we know was a very long time...

ASSIR - Perhaps born in the captivity, and therefore so named, who either (died young, or was made a eunuch (Isaiah 39:7; compare Jeremiah 22:30). After Assir’s decease, or mutilation, the line of Solomon became extinct, and according to the principles of the Jewish law Numbers 27:8 the inheritance passed to the next of kin, who were Salathiel and his brethren, descendants from David by the line of Nathan. Luke in calling Salathiel “the son of Neri” Luke 3:27, gives his real, or natural, descent; since no genealogy would assign to the true son and heir of a king any inferior and private parentage. Hence, “Malchira

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 3:1 The whole of this chapter is occupied with the descendants of DAVID: the first nine verses of it with his own sons, classified according to the place of their birth, Hebron or Jerusalem; the remaining verses with the line of kings of his house to Jeconiah and Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:16), the grandsons of Zerubbabel (1 Chronicles 3:21), and descendants of Shechaniah (1 Chronicles 3:24). To the seven years and six months (2 Samuel 2:11)

AND THE SONS OF JECONIAH,.... For though he was pronounced childless, Jeremiah 22:30, that respects not his having no children in any sense, but none to succeed him in the kingdom: ASSIR; which signifies bound, or a prisoner, because, as Kimchi thinks, he was born in a prison, his father then being a captive in Babylon; but rather it refers to Jeconiah himself, and is an appellation of him, and to be rendered, THE SONS OF JECONIAH THE CAPTIVE: which agrees best with the Hebrew accents: SALATHIEL HIS SON; the same that is called Shealtiel, Haggai 1:1 who was both the proper son of Jeconiah, and who succeeded him, as some think, in the honour and dignity the king of Babylon raised him to....

CHAPTER 3 FROM DAVID TO ZEDEKIAH _ 1. The sons of David (1 Chronicles 3:1)_ 2. David's line to Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:10) 3. The sons of Jeconiah (1 Chronicles 3:16) Six sons were born to David during his reign in Hebron. Four are mentioned as the offspring from Bath-shua, another name for Bath-sheba (2 Samuel 11:3). Then follow the names of other nine sons. As the name Elishama appears twice, it has been suggested that one is Elishua (2 Samuel 5:15). Eglah is called David's wife. Some cl

_the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel_ R.V. THE SONS OF JECONIAH, THE CAPTIVE (mg., Assir); SHEALTIEL. _Assir_is a significant name of Jeconiah given him after his removal to Babylon. _Salathiel_(cp. Luke 3:27 A.V.) is the Greek form of _Shealtiel_. It should be noted that the fact that Jeconiah had sons is not at variance with Jeremiah's denunciation of him (Jeremiah 22:30). That passage gives the answer to Jeconiah's expectation of a speedy return to his kingdom (_ib._Jeremiah 22:27); Jeremiah says that neither he nor any of his seed shall recover the lost throne: "Reckon him childless, for no son of his shall succeed him on his throne." a.
