1Ch 3:10-16. His line to Zedekiah.
Solomon’s son was Rehoboam, etc. - David’s line is here drawn down to the captivity, through a succession of good and bad, but still influential and celebrated, monarchs. It has rarely happened that a crown has been transmitted from father to son, in lineal descent, for seventeen reigns. But this was the promised reward of David’s piety. There is, indeed, observable some vacillation towards the close of this period - the crown passing from one brother to another, an even from uncle to nephew - a sure sign of disorderly times and a disjointed government.
