Study note
Setting — The Chronicler lists the Davidic royal succession immediately after Jehoshaphat and before Amaziah, functioning as a genealogical bridge within a historical record.
The words — The Hebrew text repeats בְּנ֖/וֹ (be.N/o), meaning "his son," after each royal name (Joram, Ahaziah, Joash) to explicitly mark direct paternal descent.
The thread — This sequence appears in the parallel genealogy of 2 Chronicles 21:1 and connects to the regnal details in 2 Kings 8:24, while 2 Kings 11:21 records Joash’s age at accession.
Why it lands — The verse demands recognition of an unbroken dynastic line, requiring the reader to track each generation without skipping names or assuming omitted links.
