Malchiram also,.... That is, was a son of Jeconiah as well as Salathiel, and so the rest that follow: and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah; Kimchi says these were the sons of Salathiel; but I rather think they were the sons of Jeconiah, and brethren of Salathiel, because of what follows.

Commenting on 1 Chronicles 3:10-16
The crown passed in direct line from father to son for seventeen descents, a rare thing, and the fruit of David's piety.

Only Zerubbabel shone among them.
