Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a royal genealogy, listing the direct descendants of David without addressing a specific audience or marking a narrative event.
The words — אָחָ֥ז ('a.Chaz) = Ahaz and בְּנ֛/וֹ (beno) = "his son" form the repetitive syntactic pattern that links each monarch to his predecessor.
The thread — The individual names appear in parallel royal chronicles at 2 Kings 16:1, 2 Kings 18:1, and 2 Chronicles 29:1.
Why it lands — The text demands verification of dynastic continuity by recording the exact sequence of Judah's kings.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
