And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei: and the sons of Zerubbabel; Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister: No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:19
i.e. Sister to the two last named sons of Zerubbabel, to wit, by both parents; and therefore named before the other five, , who were her brethren by the father, but not by the mother.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:19
(19) And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei.—Zerubbabel, the famous prince who, with Joshua the high priest, led the first colony of restored exiles from Babylon to Canaan, under the edict of Cyrus (B.C. cir. 536). Zerubbabel (LXX., Σοροβάβελ), means born at Babel. His father is appropriately named Pedaiah (Iah hath redeemed). Zerubbabel is called son of Shealtiel (Haggai 1:1, &c.; Ezra 3:2; Ezra 5:2—part of the chronicle it should be remembered; Matthew 1:12). Hence some expositors, ancient and modern, have assumed that the six persons named in 1 Chronicles 3:18, including Pedaiah, the father of Zerubbabel, were sons, not brothers of Salathiel (Shealtiel). In this way they bring Zerubbabel into the direct line of descent from Shealtiel. But our Hebrew text, though peculiar, can hardly mean this. It makes Zerubbabel the son of Pedaiah, and nephew of Shealtiel. If Zerubbabel, for reasons unknown, became adopted son and heir of Shealtiel, his uncle, the seemingly discordant statements of the different passages before us are all reconciled; while that of our text is the more exact. And the sons of Zerubbabel.—The Hebrew received text has “and the son.” This is not to be altered, although some MSS. have the plural.
(Comp. 1 Chronicles 3:21; 1 Chronicles 3:23.) This use of the singular is characteristic of the present genealogical fragment (see 1 Chronicles 3:17-18), “And the sons of Jeconiah captive—Salathiel his son, and Malchiram,” &c. Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister.—This seems to mean that the three were the offspring of one wife.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:19
Verse 19. The sons of Pedaiah] Houbigant thinks these words should be omitted. Pedaiah is wanting in the Arabic and Syriac. If this be omitted, Zerubbabel will appear to be the son of Salathiel, according to Matthew 1:12, and not the son of Pedaiah, as here stated.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 3:19
17–19 a. The Davidic Line from Jeconiah to Zerubbabel A difficulty arises from the fact that whereas Zerubbabel is here represented apparently as the son of Pedaiah and consequently nephew of Salathiel (= Shealtiel), he is elsewhere called the son of Shealtiel (Ezra 3:2; Haggai 1:1; Haggai 2:2; cp. Luke 3:27-31). The LXX. solves the difficulty by reading Salathiel (= Shealtiel) in 1 Chronicles 3:19. It may be however that the names given in 1 Chronicles 3:18 (including Pedaiah) are the names of the sons of Shealtiel. Another possible solution is that Zerubbabel was grand-son both to Shealtiel and Pedaiah, according to such a scheme as the following:— PedaiahShealtiel||a daughter=a son|Zerubbabel.A minor difficulty arises from the fact that Salathiel (= Shealtiel) is here connected with David through Solomon, whereas in Luke 3:27-31 his descent is traced through Solomon’s brother Nathan. However, intermarriage at some point in the genealogy between the two Davidic families would explain the difficulty.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 3:19
Zerubbabel, elsewhere always called “the son of Salathiel,” was only Salathiel’s heir and legal son, being naturally his nephew, the son of his brother, Pedaiah.
