📚 Historical Context

1 Chronicles 3:18 is part of a genealogy in the book of Chronicles that traces the descendants of King David through the kings of Judah, specifically listing sons of Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), who was exiled to Babylon around 597 BC as a result of God's judgment on Judah's unfaithfulness. This verse highlights the continuation of the Davidic line during the Babylonian exile, emphasizing God's preservation of His promises amid national crisis. The Chronicler wrote this account after the exile to encourage the returning Israelites by reminding them of their royal heritage and God's faithfulness through generations.
