1 Chronicles 3
1. The sons of David.
10. His line to Zedekiah.
17. The successors of Jeconiah.














Nogah
The name "Nogah" is derived from the Hebrew root "נֹגַהּ" (nogah), which means "brightness" or "splendor." This name may reflect the hope or aspirations of the family lineage, emphasizing the divine light or favor that they believed was upon them. In the context of the genealogies, it serves as a reminder of the importance of each individual in God's plan, even if they are not widely known or mentioned elsewhere in Scripture. The inclusion of Nogah in the genealogy underscores the comprehensive nature of God's record-keeping and His intimate knowledge of each person.

Nepheg
The name "Nepheg" comes from the Hebrew "נֶפֶג" (nepheg), which is less clear in meaning but is thought to be related to the idea of "sprout" or "bud." This could symbolize new beginnings or growth, suggesting a sense of potential and future promise within the lineage of David. In a broader theological context, it can be seen as a metaphor for the growth of God's kingdom and the unfolding of His redemptive plan through history. The mention of Nepheg, like other names in the genealogies, highlights the continuity of God's covenant with David and his descendants.

Japhia
The name "Japhia" is derived from the Hebrew "יָפִיעַ" (yaphia), meaning "shining" or "splendid." This name, like Nogah, conveys a sense of radiance and glory. It reflects the biblical theme of God's glory being manifested through His chosen people. In the historical context of the Chronicles, the chronicler is emphasizing the royal lineage and the divine favor that rests upon the house of David. Japhia's inclusion in the genealogy serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of David's line, which ultimately points to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is the true "light of the world" (John 8:12).

(6) Ibhar.--"He" (i.e., God) "chooseth."

Elishama.--Spelt Elishua in both of the parallel passsages. (See Note on 1Chronicles 3:5.) The recurrence of Elishama ("God heareth") in 1Chronicles 3:8 is no argument against the name here.

Eliphelet ("God is deliverance") also occurs twice, and David may have chosen to give names so expressive of his own peculiar faith and trust to the sons of different wives. (See Psalm 18:2; Psalm 18:6.) This Eliphelet (called Elphalet--Heb., Elpelet, 1Chronicles 14:5; a by-form, as Abram is of Abiram, or Absalom of Abishalom, or Abshai of Abishai) is omitted in Samuel. So also is Nogah (brightness, i.e., of the Divine Presence, Psalm 18:13--a hymn which is certainly David's). (Comp. Japhia, "the Shining One.") Nepheg means "shoot, scion." . . .
