Explanation preview
This verse sits within the Chronicler's royal genealogy, listing the sons of King Josiah of Judah, who reigned in the late seventh century BC. The names are given in order of birth, though the sequence of their later reigns did not follow that order: Jehoahaz, apparently called Shallum here, succeeded Josiah first, then Jehoiakim, then Jeconiah, and finally Zedekiah.
