All these were registered in the genealogies
This phrase emphasizes the importance of genealogical records in ancient Israel. The Hebrew root for "registered" is "כָּתַב" (kathab), meaning to write or inscribe. This reflects the meticulous care taken to preserve family lineages, which were crucial for maintaining tribal identities and inheritance rights. In a spiritual sense, it underscores the value God places on each individual, as He knows and records the details of our lives.

during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah
Jotham was a king of Judah who reigned in the 8th century BC. His reign is noted for stability and relative prosperity, as recorded in 2 Kings 15:32-38 and 2 Chronicles 27. The mention of Jotham here situates the genealogical registration in a specific historical context, highlighting the continuity of God's people through different political eras. Jotham's reign is often seen as a time of faithfulness to God, which serves as an inspiration for maintaining spiritual integrity amidst changing circumstances.

and Jeroboam king of Israel
This refers to Jeroboam II, who was a king of Israel during the same period. His reign was marked by territorial expansion and economic prosperity, as noted in 2 Kings 14:23-29. However, it was also a time of spiritual decline, with the people turning away from God. The juxtaposition of Jotham and Jeroboam in this verse serves as a reminder of the divergent paths of Judah and Israel, encouraging believers to choose faithfulness over prosperity without God. It also highlights God's sovereignty over all nations and leaders, regardless of their spiritual state.

Verse 17. - The very form of the language of this verse would indicate that two genealogies are intended. This quite tallies with the fact that there were two chronicles, one for each division of the nation, i.e. "the chronicles of the kings of Judah" (2 Kings 15:6) and "the chronicles of the kings of Israel" (2 Kings 15:11), in which same chapter both Jeroboam (II.) of Israel and Jotham of Judah are spoken of, the latter beginning to reign in Judah some twenty years (the exact chronology is very confused here) after the death of the former. Although presumably it would be an object of closer interest with Israel than with Judah to effect the registration of the Gadite genealogy, yet it was most just that Judah should do so as well. This would both vindicate Judah's own right place and be a happy omen of the continued predominance of her position compared with that of Israel. Independently of the question of effecting the actual registration, however, it is quite possible that, so long as history ran by the side of history. Israel would gather and keep all it could of Judah, and Judah all it could of Israel.
