1 Chronicles 3:17 Summary
[This verse tells us about Jeconiah, a king of Judah who was taken captive by the Babylonians, and his son Shealtiel. It's a reminder that even in difficult circumstances, God is still working out His plan, as we see in Jeremiah 29:11. Shealtiel's descendants, including Zerubbabel, would go on to play an important role in the restoration of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, as seen in Ezra 3:2. This shows us that God can use anyone, regardless of their circumstances, to bring about His plans, and that's a comforting truth for us today, as we trust in His sovereignty, as mentioned in Romans 8:28.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Jeconiah and why is he referred to as 'the captive'?
Jeconiah was a king of Judah who was taken captive by the Babylonians, as recorded in 2 Kings 24:15, and his experiences are also mentioned in Jeremiah 22:24-30 and 2 Kings 25:7.
What is the significance of Shealtiel being the son of Jeconiah?
Shealtiel being the son of Jeconiah is significant because he is part of the royal lineage of Judah, and his descendants, including Zerubbabel, play an important role in the restoration of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, as seen in Ezra 3:2 and Haggai 1:1.
How does this verse fit into the larger narrative of the Bible?
This verse is part of the genealogy of the kings of Judah, which ultimately points to the coming of Jesus Christ, as seen in Matthew 1:12-13, where Jeconiah and Shealtiel are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus.
What can we learn about God's sovereignty from Jeconiah's captivity?
Jeconiah's captivity shows us that even in the midst of difficult circumstances, God is still sovereign and can use those circumstances to bring about His plans, as seen in Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11.
Reflection Questions
- How do I respond to difficult circumstances in my life, and can I trust that God is still sovereign even in those situations?
- What does it mean for me to be part of a larger story, like the descendants of Jeconiah, and how can I live in light of that reality?
- How can I pass on my faith to the next generation, just like Shealtiel and his descendants did?
- What are some ways that I can trust in God's plan, even when I don't understand what's happening in my life, and how can I find comfort in His sovereignty?

1 Chronicles 3:17 And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son,Ver. 17. And the sons of Jeconiah.] Natural sons Jeconiah had, but because none of them succeeded him in the kingdom, therefore he is said to be written childless. Assir, Salathiel his son.] Salathiel might be called Assir, that is, one in bonds; because Jeconiah begat him in his bonds. See the like, Exodus 2:22.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:17
III.—The posterity of Jeconiah after the exile (1 Chronicles 3:17-24). This section is peculiar to the chronicle. (17) Assir.—This word means prisoner, captive; literally, bondman. It so occurs in Isaiah 10:2; Isaiah 24:22. Accordingly the verse may be rendered, “And the sons of Jeconiah when captive—Shealtiel (was) his son.” This translation (1) accords with the Masoretic punctuation, which connects the term assir with Jeconiah; and (2) accounts for the double reference to the offspring of Jeconiah, first in 1 Chronicles 3:16, “Zedekiah his son,” and then again here. Zedekiah is thus separated from the sons born to Jeconiah in captivity. The strongest apparent objection against such a rendering is that the expression “the sons of Jeconiah the captive” would require the definite article to be prefixed to the word assir. No doubt it would; but then “the sons of Jeconiah the captive” is not what the chronicler intended to say. He has said what he meant—viz., “the sons of Jeconiah when in captivity” or “as a captive.” The Talmudic treatise, Sanhedrin, gives “Assir his son;” but another, the Sedw Olam, does not mention Assir, who is likewise wanting in the genealogy of our Lord (Matthew 1:12; see the Notes there). Salathiel.—The form in the LXX., Σαλαθιήλ; and Matthew 1:12, Heb., Shealti-el (“request of God”): Haggai 1:12, Shalti-el.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:17
Verse 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 prisoner in Babylon. See 2Kg 24:15 and Calmet.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 3:17
17–19 a. The Davidic Line from Jeconiah to Zerubbabel A difficulty arises from the fact that whereas Zerubbabel is here represented apparently as the son of Pedaiah and consequently nephew of Salathiel (= Shealtiel), he is elsewhere called the son of Shealtiel (Ezra 3:2; Haggai 1:1; Haggai 2:2; cp. Luke 3:27-31). The LXX. solves the difficulty by reading Salathiel (= Shealtiel) in 1 Chronicles 3:19. It may be however that the names given in 1 Chronicles 3:18 (including Pedaiah) are the names of the sons of Shealtiel. Another possible solution is that Zerubbabel was grand-son both to Shealtiel and Pedaiah, according to such a scheme as the following:— PedaiahShealtiel||a daughter=a son|Zerubbabel.A minor difficulty arises from the fact that Salathiel (= Shealtiel) is here connected with David through Solomon, whereas in Luke 3:27-31 his descent is traced through Solomon’s brother Nathan. However, intermarriage at some point in the genealogy between the two Davidic families would explain the difficulty.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 3:17
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).
