Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 3:11
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 3:10].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 3:11
Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:11
(11) Joram—Jehorain. Iahweh is high.Ahaziah.—Iah holdeth (Luke 1:54, ἀντελάβετ, “he hath holpen”). Joash.—(?) Iahweh is a hero. Cf. Ashbel = “man of Bel,” and Exodus 15:3.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 3:11
10–16. The Line of Davidic Kings Two things are to be noted in this list: (1) Johanan’s name is given in 1 Chronicles 3:15, though he was never king, (2) Zedekiah’s name appears to be twice given, once among the sons of Josiah (1 Chronicles 3:15) and again in his place according to the succession (1 Chronicles 3:16).
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 3:11
Ahaziah - Called “Jehoahaz” by a transposition of the elements composing the name, and “Azariah,” probably by a transcriber’s error (see marginal notes and references).
