3:1 David first ruled in Hebron over Judah for seven years and six months before coming to power over all Israel (2Sm 5:5). Because of his desire to emphasize Israel’s unity, the Chronicler did not mention this early period of David’s reign again.
3:5 “Bath-shua,” or Bathsheba. Note that Solomon was the youngest of the sons of Bathsheba. In ancient Israel, birthright (succession to the throne, in this case) and the position of firstborn were not always synonymous. It is possible that the list was not in birth order, but if so, it would be highly unusual.
3:12 Azariah was also known as “Uzziah” (2Kg 14:21).
3:15 Shallum’s throne name was “Jehoahaz” (see Jr 22:11).
3:16 Jeconiah was also known as “Jehoiachin” (Jr 27:20) and “Coniah” (Jr 22:24).
3:17-24 This follows the line of David after the exile.
3:19 Zerubbabel’s part in the return to Judah is told in Ezr 3:2,8; 5:2 and Neh 12:1.
