1 Chronicles 3:14Amon his son, Josiah his son.
The setting
Josiah was Judah's last great king, killed at age 39 trying to stop Pharaoh Neco at Megiddo. His death marked the beginning of Judah's final collapse into exile.
The emotion here: grief over the tragic end of Judah's last godly king
The original word
ben (בֵּן) — son, but Josiah's line ends the genealogy here, as his sons led Judah into exile
Why it matters
Josiah died at Megiddo, the same valley where Revelation says the final battle of Armageddon will be fought
Read with care
What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 3:14
The genealogy abruptly ends with Josiah because his death marked the end of Judah's independence — sometimes God's best servants die young
Common misconceptionPeople think following God guarantees a long life, but Josiah was the most faithful king and died at 39 in battle. Sometimes the righteous are 'taken away from the evil to come' (Isaiah 57:1).
