Commentary
7 notes on this verseMalchiram 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 Salathiel; but I rather think they were the sons of Jeconiah, and brethren of Salathiel, because of what follows.
This site's exposition
The descendants of Jeconiah the captive
on 1 Chronicles 3:17-19
Several commentators read the Hebrew word Assir in verse 17 as Jeconiah's own title, the prisoner. Verse 19 makes Zerubbabel the son of Pedaiah, while Matthew 1:12 calls him the son of Shealtiel. The commentators take him as an heir standing in a dead kinsman's place.
This site's exposition
Shealtiel his son, Malchiram, Pedaiah
Shealtiel, Malchiram, Pedaiah, and the rest are named as the descendants of Jeconiah the captive. Shealtiel is the father of Zerubbabel in Ezra 3:2. Gill takes all seven as sons of Jeconiah, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown suspect the text has been disarranged.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
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, ver. 19, and the son (that is, the grandson) of Salathiel, Matt. i, 12.
The last person named in this chapter is Anani, of whom bishop Patrick says that the Targum adds these words, He is the king Messiah, who is to be revealed, and some of the Jewish writers give this reason, because it is said ( Dan. vii.

Malchiram also--As far as Jeconiah, everything is plain; but there is reason to suspect that the text in the subsequent verses has been dislocated and disarranged. The object of the sacred historian is to trace the royal line through Zerubbabel; yet, according to the present reading, the genealogical stem cannot be drawn from Jeconiah downwards.
Malchiram also - Calmet supposes we should read here, And the sons of Salathiel were Malchiram and Pedaiah, etc.
