1 Chronicles 3:13 BSB

Commentary

1 note on this verse

This site's exposition

Solomon’s son was Rehoboam

on 1 Chronicles 3:10-14

Verses 10 to 14 run the royal line in one column from Solomon to Josiah, sixteen kings in direct father to son succession, a transmission the old commentators call rare among the world's crowns and read as the reward promised David for his own piety. Chronicles gives only the names here; the failures and reforms of these same kings already stand fully told in the parallel Kings exposition. The column ends at Josiah, the last king of this line to die on the throne before it breaks into brothers and captives in the verses that follow.
