1. Chronik 3:3

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 3 This chapter gives an account of the sons of David, born to him both in Hebron and in Jerusalem, Ch1 3:1, and of his successors in the kingdom, to the Babylonish captivity, Ch1 3:10, and of his family, to the coming of the Messiah, Ch1 3:17.

Of all the families of Israel none was so illustrious as the family of David. That is the family which was mentioned in the foregoing chapter (Ch1 3:15). Here we have a full account of it. I. David's sons (Ch1 3:1-9). II. His successors in the throne as long as the kingdom continued (Ch1 3:10-16). III. The remains of his family in and after the captivity (Ch1 3:17-24). From this family, "as concerning the flesh, Christ came."
