John Trapp Complete Commentary

Luke 3:27

Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,

Ver. 27. Which was the son of Neri] Salathiel was naturally the son of Neri, but legally, and by succession, the son of Jechoniah,Matthew 1:12, for he succeeded him in the kingdom. Neri, which signifieth my candle, seemeth to have been so named from the candle which the Lord reserved for David and his house, 2 Chronicles 21:7 .
