Misinterpretations often treat this bare genealogical entry as a moral endorsement of Amon and Manasseh, ignoring their notorious idolatry and evil reigns detailed in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, or attempt to derive numerological prophecies or personal ancestry claims from it; instead, it functions solely as a historical record preserving the lineage for covenantal continuity without implicit approval of the individuals listed.
I Chronicles 3:14
King James Version (1769)
14 Amon his son, Josiah his son.
This verse continues the genealogy of Judah's kings from David's line, identifying Amon as Manasseh's son and Josiah as Amon's son, emphasizing the unbroken chain of succession in the Davidic dynasty despite periods of apostasy, which underscores God's unwavering commitment to His covenant with David promising an eternal throne fulfilled ultimately in Jesus Christ.
