Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a genealogical register, documenting the specific offspring of Shecaniah within the broader lineage of Hananiah.
The words — The Hebrew וּ/בְנֵ֥י (u./ve.Nei) literally renders "and/ [the] sons of," while שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה (she.khan.Yah) identifies the patriarch Shecaniah.
The thread — The name Hattush appears again in Ezra 8:2 among the descendants of David, and the list directly follows the descendants of Hananiah in 1 Chronicles 3:21.
Why it lands — The text records preserved familial lines without commentary, requiring the reader to acknowledge the documented continuity of specific covenant families across generations.
