Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues his genealogical record of David’s royal line, listing the direct descendants of Solomon immediately after cataloging David’s other sons in 1 Chronicles 3:9.
The words — The Hebrew phrase וּ/בֶן־ (u./ven-) translates literally as "and son," serving as a repetitive structural marker that binds each successive king to his immediate predecessor in the list.
The thread — This father-to-son succession format mirrors the genealogical structure in 1 Chronicles 3:9 and 1 Chronicles 3:11, and corresponds to the partial royal records documented in 1 Kings 11:43, 1 Kings 14:31, and 1 Kings 15:8.
Why it lands — The text simply records the dynastic continuity of Judah’s monarchy, requiring the reader to acknowledge the historical lineage before any later evaluation of the kings’ faithfulness or failures.
