1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 3:17 The line of David’s descendants continued even after the exile, fulfilling God’s promise of an enduring “house” for him, through which God’s kingdom would be eternally established (1 Chronicles 17:10, 1 Chronicles 17:14). Zerubbabel played a central role in restoring the temple (Ezra 5:2; Haggai 1:12). Possibly Ezra 3:2, which calls Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, implies an adoption or levirate marriage (see note on Matt. 22:24).
