A frequent misinterpretation views this terse genealogy as signaling the abrupt termination of Jeconiah's line due to God's curse in Jeremiah 22:30 that no descendant of his would rule on David's throne, erroneously suggesting the messianic hope shifted entirely to Nathan's line and invalidating Solomon's lineage in Christ's ancestry; in reality, the genealogy persists, affirming Jesus' legal right through Joseph's paternal line while his physical descent avoids the curse via Mary's Nathanite ancestry, highlighting interpretive nuance between throne rights and covenant preservation.
I Chronicles 3:17
King James Version (1769)
17 And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son,
This verse records the beginning of the descendants of Jeconiah, also known as Jehoiachin or Coniah, the penultimate king of Judah who was exiled to Babylon, listing Assir as his son and Shealtiel as Assir's son, thereby continuing the Davidic royal genealogy amid national captivity and demonstrating God's unwavering commitment to preserve the messianic line through Solomon's descendants despite judgment and exile.
