1 Chronicles 3:17

the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel R.V. the sons of Jeconiah, the captive (mg., Assir); Shealtiel. Assiris a significant name of Jeconiah given him after his removal to Babylon. Salathiel(cp. Luke 3:27 A.V.) is the Greek form of Shealtiel.

It should be noted that the fact that Jeconiah had sons is not at variance with Jeremiah's denunciation of him (Jeremiah 22:30). That passage gives the answer to Jeconiah's expectation of a speedy return to his kingdom (ib.Jeremiah 22:27); Jeremiah says that neither he nor any of his seed shall recover the lost throne: "Reckon him childless, for no son of his shall succeed him on his throne."

a. The Davidic Line from Jeconiah to Zerubbabel

A difficulty arises from the fact that whereas Zerubbabel is here represented apparently as the son of Pedaiah and consequently nephew of Salathiel(Shealtiel), he is elsewhere called the son of Shealtiel(Ezra 3:2; Haggai 1:1; Haggai 2:2; cp. Luke 3:27-31). The LXX. solves the difficulty by reading Salathiel(Shealtiel) in 1 Chronicles 3:19. It may be however that the names given in 1 Chronicles 3:18 (including Pedaiah) are the names of the sons of Shealtiel. Another possible solution is that Zerubbabel was grand-son both to Shealtiel and Pedaiah, according to such a scheme as the following:

Pedaiah

Shealtiel " a daughter = a son Zerubbabel.

A minor difficulty arises from the fact that Salathiel (Shealtiel) is here connected with David through Solomon, whereas in Luke 3:27-31 his descent is traced through Solomon's brother Nathan. However, intermarriage at some point in the genealogy between the two Davidic families would explain the difficulty.
