jecamiah Summary and Overview

(whom Jehovah gathers), one of seven who were introduced into the royal line, on the failure of it in the person of Jehoiachin. #1Ch 3:18|

JECAMI'AH (whom Jehovah gathers), one of the line of David, 1 Chr 3:18; same with Jekamiah of 1 Chr 2:41.

One of seven, apparently sons of Neri, of Nathan's line (as was Salathiel, Luke 3:27), introduced into the royal line when Jehoiachin had no child who succeeded to the throne (1 Chronicles 3:17,18). Jeconiah's son Assir left a daughter probably, who according to the law of heiresses (Numbers 27:8; 36:8,9) married a man of a family of her paternal tribe, namely, Neri descended from Nathan, David's son. Shealtiel, Malchiram, etc., sprang from this marriage.
