1 Chronicles 3:10 Summary
This verse lists the descendants of King Solomon, showing how God kept His promise to David that his family would always have a king (1 Chronicles 17:12-14). The kings mentioned here, including Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, and Jehoshaphat, each played a role in Israel's history, and their stories can teach us about faith, obedience, and God's faithfulness.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 3:10
Ver. 10-14. And Solomon's son was Rehoboam,.... From hence to the end of the fourteenth verse, David's successors are reckoned, according to the order of their reign, unto Josiah and his sons:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 3:10
And Solomon's son was Rehoboam, Abia his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son, Solomon's son was Rehoboam ... David's line is here drawn down to the captivity, through a succession of good and bad,
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:10
1 Chronicles 3:10 And Solomon’ s son [was] Rehoboam, Abia his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son,Ver. 10. Abia his son, Asa his son.] These Books of Chronicles pursue the genealogy and history of the kings of Judah only: and yet are more sparing in relating the sins of David and Solomon. Those things which are here set down in this chapter were chiefly written in reference to the genealogy of Christ.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:10
II.—The kings of the house of David, as otherwise known from the books of Kings (1 Chronicles 3:10-16). (10) Rehoboam.—So LXX. Ροβοαμ. Heb., Rĕ ?hab-‘βm (“the Kinsman,” i.e., God hath enlarged). Abia.—LXX., Αβια; Heb., Abξyβh (Iah is father), of which Abijam (Abξyβm) is a mimmated form. Asa.—Healer.Jehoshaphat.—Iahweh judgeth.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 3:10
10–16. The Line of Davidic Kings Two things are to be noted in this list: (1) Johanan’s name is given in 1 Chronicles 3:15, though he was never king, (2) Zedekiah’s name appears to be twice given, once among the sons of Josiah (1 Chronicles 3:15) and again in his place according to the succession (1 Chronicles 3:16).
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 3:10
Abia - Rather, “Abijah,” as in 2 Chr. 11–14, where the Hebrew word is exactly the same.
