Verse 1

3:1 Now these were the sons of {a} David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second {b} Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:

(a) He returns to the genealogy of David, to show that Christ came from his stock.

(b) Who in 2 Samuel 3:3 is called Chileab, born of her that was Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.

Verse 5

3:5 And these were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of {c} Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel:

(c) Called also Bathsheba the daughter of Eliam: for they gave them various names.

Verse 6

3:6 Ibhar also, and {d} Elishama, and Eliphelet,

(d) Elishama, or Elishua, 2 Samuel 5:15 and Eliphelet died, and David named those sons who were born next by the same names; in the book of kings his living children are mentioned and here both they that were alive and dead.

Verse 15

3:15 And the sons of Josiah [were], the {e} firstborn Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum.

(f) Matthew says that Zerubbabel was the son of Shealtiel, meaning that he was his nephew according to the Hebrew speech: for he was Pedaiah’s son.

Verse 22

3:22 And the sons of Shechaniah; Shemaiah: and the sons of Shemaiah; Hattush, and Igeal, and Bariah, and Neariah, and Shaphat, {g} six.
