· Translation: KJV

1 Chronicles 3:10Solomon's son was Rehoboam, Abijah his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son,

The setting

Jerusalem, ~450 BC. Post-exile scribes trace the royal lineage through four kings - one wise, three increasingly foolish. Modern Jerusalem, Israel.

The emotion here: carefully documenting a legacy of mixed success and failure

The original word

ben (בֵּן) — son, emphasizing direct succession and inherited responsibility

Why it matters

Rehoboam's harsh decision caused 10 tribes to rebel, splitting Israel permanently

Read with care

What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 3:10

This peaceful list hides the kingdom's collapse - Rehoboam destroyed what Solomon built

Common misconceptionPeople assume royal lineage equals spiritual success, but three of these four kings failed spectacularly despite their godly heritage.
