Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 3:20
And Hashubah, and Ohel, and Berechiah, and Hasadiah, Jushabhesed, five. And Malchiram, and Rephaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:20
Either of Zerubbabel; or of Meshullam, as is gathered from hence, that the sons of Hananiah are named , and therefore those are presumed to be the sons of Meshullam. But that is no necessary inference, for Meshullam possibly had no sons, and therefore he passeth from him to Hananiah, .
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:20
(20) These five sons form a second group of Zerubbabel’s children, probably by another wife. The v of union seems to have fallen out before the last name, Jushab-hesed. The names of the last kings (Shallum, recompense; Zedekiah, Iah is righteousness) were parables of the judgment that should come to pass in Judah. (Comp. Isaiah 10:22 : “A consumption is doomed, overflowing with righteousness.”) Those of the kindred and sons of Zerubbabel indicate the religious hopefulness of his people at the dawn of the restoration. His father is Pedaiah (Iah redeemeth) (see Isaiah 51:11); his son Meshullam (devoted to God) recalls Isaiah 42:19, where the pious remnant of Israel is so designated. The name Ohel, “tent,” is probably an abbreviation of Oholiah, or Oholiab, and refers to the sacred dwelling of Jehovah, which was for ages a tent. (See Isaiah 33:20; Ezekiel 37:27.) Jushab-hesed (mercy will be restored) is a prophecy of faith in Him who in wrath remembereth mercy (Habakkuk 3:2).
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 3:20
20. and Hashubah] Probably we should read “The sons of Meshullam: Hashubah.” See above. Jushab-hesed] The name means “Mercy is restored.” Many such significant names belong to the period of the Return.
