The sons of David.10. His line to Zedekiah. 17. The successors of Jeconiah. The sons of Neariah: Neariah is a descendant of David, part of the genealogical record that traces the lineage of the royal house of Judah. This lineage is significant as it establishes the continuity of David's line, which is central to the messianic prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. The genealogies in Chronicles emphasize the legitimacy and divine choice of David's dynasty, which is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament. Elioenai: Hizkiah: and Azrikam: three in all: Persons / Places / Events 1. NeariahA descendant of David, Neariah is part of the genealogical record that traces the lineage of the royal family of Judah. His name means "servant of Yah" or "lamp of Yah," indicating a connection to God. 2. Elioenai One of the sons of Neariah, his name means "my eyes look to God." This name reflects a posture of dependence and trust in God. 3. Hizkiah Another son of Neariah, his name is a variant of Hezekiah, meaning "Yahweh strengthens." This name suggests reliance on God's strength. 4. Azrikam The third son of Neariah, his name means "help against the enemy" or "my help has risen." This name implies divine assistance and protection. 5. Genealogical Record This passage is part of the genealogical records in 1 Chronicles, which serve to establish the continuity of God's promises through the lineage of David. Teaching Points God's Faithfulness in GenerationsThe genealogies remind us of God's unwavering faithfulness to His promises across generations. We can trust that God is working through our family lines and histories. Significance of Names The meanings of the names in this passage reflect attributes of God and His relationship with His people. Consider the significance of your own name and how it might reflect your identity in Christ. Legacy and Heritage Just as Neariah's sons are recorded in Scripture, we are encouraged to consider the legacy we are leaving for future generations. Are we living in a way that honors God and reflects His promises? Dependence on God The names Elioenai, Hizkiah, and Azrikam each point to a reliance on God. In our daily lives, we should cultivate a posture of looking to God for strength, guidance, and help.(23) Elioenai--unto Iah (are) mine eyes, Psalm 123:1-2--is an expansion of the same idea. (Comp. also Psalm 25:15.) An Elioenai went up with Ezra (Ezra 8:4).Verse 23. - None of the names in this or the following verse assists as yet in throwing any light upon the questions that arise in this fragment of genealogy. Lord A. C. Hervey would identify Hodaiah (ver. 24) with Abiud (Matthew 1:13) and with Juda (Luke 3:26), and quotes, for very just confirmation of the possibility so far as the mere names are concerned, Ezra 3:9; Nehemiah 11:9; compared with Ezra 2:40; 1 Chronicles 9:7. His investigations on the comparison of the genealogies of this chapter with those of Matthew 1:9 and Luke 3:9, are well worthy of attention, and may be found in his work above referred to, and in his articles of Smith's 'Bible Dictionary.'
