Commentary
3 notes on this verseAnd Anani - “This is the King Messiah who is to be revealed.” - T. Jarchi says the same, and refers to Dan 7:13: Behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds (ענני ananey) of heaven. For this application of the word he gives a fanciful reason, not worthy to be repeated. The Syriac and Arabic omit several names in this table, and make only twenty-three verses in the chapter: but such differences are frequent in the books of Chronicles.
This site's exposition
Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah
on 1 Chronicles 3:20-24
From Zerubbabel's children the list runs on to Anani in verse 24, so David's house still has sons and grandsons after the return from Babylon. Jewish tradition, recorded by Jarchi and repeated by Clarke, reads the name Anani as a title of the Messiah.
This site's exposition
The sons of Elioenai
With Elioenai's seven sons the Old Testament record of David's line closes. Clarke reports that the Targum read Anani as the Messiah, linking the name to the clouds of Daniel 7:13. Clarke calls the reason given fanciful.
