This verse lists the names of several individuals who were part of the royal family of Judah. These names are important because they show how God kept His promises to the family of King David, as seen in 2 Samuel 7:1-17. Just like these individuals were part of a larger family, we are all part of God's family when we put our trust in Him, as explained in John 1:12-13 and Romans 8:14-17. By studying these names and the stories behind them, we can learn more about God's love and faithfulness to His people, as seen in Psalm 136:1-26 and Jeremiah 31:3.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 3:18
Malchiram also,.... That is, was a son of Jeconiah as well as Salathiel, and so the rest that follow: and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah; Kimchi says these were the sons of
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 3:18
Malchiram also, and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah. Malchiram also.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:18
Malchiram also, and Pedaiah: the sentence seems to be short and imperfect, as is frequent in the Hebrew language, and something is here understood, as, the sons also of Salathiel were Malchiram and Pedaiah, &c., as they gather from hence, that the same Zerubbabel is called the son of Pedaiah, , and the son (i.e. the grandson) of Salathiel, . Or Malchiram and the rest here named were the sons of Jeconiah; and they are differing Zerubbabels, which are mentioned here, ; of which see the notes on those places.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:18
1 Chronicles 3:18 Malchiram also, and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah.Ver. 18. Malchiram also.] It is doubtful whether these were the sons of Jeconiah, or of Salathiel.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:18
(18) Malchiram also, and Pedaiah.—According to our present Hebrew text these six persons, arranged as two trios, are sons of Jeconiah, and brothers of Shealtiel. Shenazar—Heb., Shen’azzar; LXX., Σανεσάρ—is a compound Babylonian name, like Belteshazzar (Daniel 1:7), of which the last part means “protect,” and the first is, perhaps, “Sin” (comp. Σαναχάριβος), the moon-god. Such a name as “Sin protect” may well have been given to this Jewish prince at the court of Babylon, just as Daniel and his three companions received idolatrous designations of the same sort from Nebuchadnezzar. This fact seems to support our rendering of the word Assir (1 Chronicles 3:17). Hoshama.—A contraction of Jehoshama (Iahweh hath heard), like Coniah for Jeconiah.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:18
