And the sons of Elioenai were, Hodaiah, and Eliashib, and Pelaiah, and Akkub, and Johanan, and Dalaiah, and Anani, seven.
The crown passed in direct line from father to son for seventeen descents, a rare thing, and the fruit of David's piety. But when the succession grew tangled near the captivity, brother to brother and nephew to uncle, the glory of that house began to eclipse, and the descendants after the return were mostly obscure names. Only Zerubbabel shone among them.

And Anani - "This is the King Messiah who is to be revealed." - T. Jarchi says the same, and refers to Dan 7:13 : Behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds (ענני ananey) of heaven. For this application of the word he gives a fanciful reason, not worthy to be repeated.
1Ch 3:17-24 The descendants of the captive and exiled Jeconiah, and other families. - 1Ch 3:17. In the list of the son of Jeconiah it is doubtful if אסּר be the name of a son, or should be considered, as it is by Luther and others, an appellative, “prisoner,” in apposition to יכניה, “the sons of Jeconiah, the captive, is Shealtiel” (A. V. Salathiel).
