David's own house, set out in order: six sons born to him in Hebron during the seven and a half years there, then the sons born in Jerusalem, Solomon among the four by Bath-shua. From Solomon the crown descends king by king (Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat), through Hezekiah and Josiah to Jehoiakim and Zedekiah, 'the captive.' Then, remarkably, the list keeps going past the ruin: the sons of Jeconiah, Shealtiel, Zerubbabel who rebuilt the second temple, and generations beyond him. To exiles reading in a city with no king, this chapter is the quiet insistence that David's line did not end in Babylon.
