1 Chronicles 3:16The sons of Jehoiakim: Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son.
The setting
Jerusalem, Israel, ~597 BC remembered. Two kings in one family, both ending in disaster...
The emotion here: heavy sadness at recording the end of David's royal line
The original word
ben (בֵּן) — son, but also successor carrying the weight of kingship
Why it matters
Both Jeconiah and Zedekiah were installed as puppet kings by foreign powers
Read with care
What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 3:16
These aren't just names — they're the last two kings before everything collapsed
Common misconceptionPeople think Zedekiah here is the same as the last king Zedekiah, but this is Jehoiakim's son, while the final king was Josiah's son — two different people with the same name.
