Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a linear genealogy of David’s royal line, listing successive generations to document historical continuity. The words — בְנ֖/וֹ (ve.N/o) translates literally as “son/his,” serving as the structural marker that binds each name to its direct predecessor. The thread — This paternal sequence aligns with 2 Kings 14:1, which identifies Amaziah as Joash’s son and successor, and 2 Kings 14:21, which records the people installing Azariah as king in place of his father Amaziah. Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to verify an unbroken line of descent, treating each name as a factual link in a documented royal succession rather than a theological symbol.
