His captivity marked a significant moment in Jewish history, as it symbolized the end of the Davidic reign in Jerusalem and the beginning of the Babylonian Exile. This exile was a fulfillment of prophetic warnings given by prophets like Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24-30</a>), who foretold that none of Jeconiah's descendants would prosper on the throne of David. Despite this, Jeconiah's lineage is significant in the genealogical record of Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/matthew/1-12.htm">Matthew 1:12</a>, indicating God's faithfulness to His covenant promises despite human failure.<p><b>Shealtiel his son:</b><br>Shealtiel is listed as the son of Jeconiah, continuing the Davidic line during the period of exile. In the genealogies of Jesus found in the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/1-12.htm">Matthew 1:12</a>, <a href="/luke/3-27.htm">Luke 3:27</a>), Shealtiel is an important link in the lineage of Christ, demonstrating the preservation of the Davidic line through the Babylonian Exile. This connection underscores the theme of redemption and restoration, as God brings forth the Messiah from a line that seemed cut off. Shealtiel's name, meaning "I have asked of God," may reflect the hope and prayer of the exiled community for deliverance and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeconiah.htm">Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin)</a></b><br>He was a king of Judah who was taken captive by the Babylonians.

This section is peculiar to the chronicle.<p>(17) <span class= "bld">Assir.</span>--This word means prisoner, captive; literally, <span class= "ital">bondman.</span> It so occurs in <a href="/isaiah/10-2.htm" title="To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!">Isaiah 10:2</a>; <a href="/isaiah/24-22.htm" title="And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.">Isaiah 24:22</a>. Accordingly the verse may be rendered, "And the sons of Jeconiah when captive--Shealtiel (was) his son." This translation (1) accords with the Masoretic punctuation, which connects the term <span class= "ital">assir</span> with Jeconiah; and (2) accounts for the double reference to the offspring of Jeconiah, first in <a href="/1_chronicles/3-16.htm" title="And the sons of Jehoiakim: Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son.">1Chronicles 3:16</a>, "Zedekiah his son," and then again here. Zedekiah is thus separated from the sons born to Jeconiah in captivity. The strongest apparent objection against such a rendering is that the expression "the sons of Jeconiah the captive" would require the definite article to be prefixed to the word <span class= "ital">assir.</span> No doubt it would; but then "the sons of Jeconiah the captive" is not what the chronicler intended to say. He has said what he meant--viz., "the sons of Jeconiah <span class= "ital">when in captivity</span>" or "<span class= "ital">as</span> <span class= "ital">a</span> <span class= "ital">captive.</span>" The Talmudic treatise, <span class= "ital">Sanhedrin,</span> gives "Assir his son;" but another, the <span class= "ital">Sedw Olam,</span> does not mention Assir, who is likewise wanting in the genealogy of our Lord (<a href="/matthew/1-12.htm" title="And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;">Matthew 1:12</a>; see the Notes there). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 17-24.</span> - These verses contain a line of descent brought down to a point not merely posterior to the Exile, but possibly reaching to the time of Alexander. This line, however, through Solomon is lost so soon as the first name, that of Assir, is passed; Salathiel (Authorized Version)or Shealtiel, being descended from David, not through Solomon, but through Nathan, whole brother to Solomon. This Assir is not known from any parallel passage; and Luther, Starke, Bertheau, and others, followed by Zoekler (in Lange, 'Comm. O.T.') translate the name as <span class="accented">captive</span>, applying it to Jeconiah. Not all their reasons, however, <span class="accented">for</span> this, outweigh one which must be pronounced <span class="accented">against</span> it, viz. the absence of the article. The Septuagint and Vulgate versions agree with our own. The greater probability might be that Assir derived his name from being born after Jeconiah was in captivity, and such passages as <a href="/isaiah/39-7.htm">Isaiah 39:7</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/22-30.htm">Jeremiah 22:30</a>, may throw some light upon the extinction of Solomon's line here, and the transfer of the succession (comp. <a href="/numbers/27-11.htm">Numbers 27:11</a>, and see interesting note on the present place in 'Speaker's Commentary'). Salathiel is the Authorized Version incorrect rendering of the Hebrew Shealtiel. In <a href="/matthew/1-12.htm">Matthew 1:12</a> it is said, "And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel;" and in <a href="/luke/3-27.htm">Luke 3:27</a>, "Salathiel, which was <span class="accented">the son</span> of Neri." Now, Neri was in the direct line of Nathan. There seems only one way of reconciling these statements - and the method removes similar difficulties in other places also - viz, to distinguish between the descent <span class="accented">natural</span> and the descent <span class="accented">royal</span>, and then acknowledge that the former was swallowed up, where necessary, of the latter. One as decisive instance of this kind as that before us is most useful to rule other cases.
