Footnotes
- 1 Chronicles 3:1 The history of Solomon and the other kings will come later in the work. The list of David’s descendants is complete (whereas there are omissions in Mt 1:7-11). The list from the Exile onward (v. 17ff) has for its purpose to show the survival of the descendants of David; in fact, only the names of Shealtiel and Zerubbabel will appear in the genealogy of Jesus in Mt 1 (and Lk 3).
- 1 Chronicles 3:9 Tamar: raped by her step-brother Amnon, son of David and Ahinoam, she was later vindicated by his murder by her full brother Absalom (2 Sam 13).
- 1 Chronicles 3:10 Solomon’s progeny provided many rulers for the nation of Judah until its destruction by the Babylonians.
- 1 Chronicles 3:19 In Hag 1:1 and Ezek 3:2, Zerubbabel is the son of Shealtiel (see Mt 1:12; Lk 3:27); the present verse needs therefore to be rearranged. The Septuagint replaces Pedaiah with Shealtiel.
