And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son,
The verse belongs to the long genealogical lists in 1 Chronicles 1-3. Those lists record names and events and give particular attention to Judah and the priesthood. In 1 Chronicles 1-3 the record of the kings of Israel and Judah continues through transgression, war, defeat and captivity ending with the overthrow of the ten tribes in B.C. 721-722.
The verse belongs to Judah's carefully preserved genealogy, kept unbroken until Christ's first advent, which records the lineage through which Christ came. Its line was preserved because Jesus was of the tribe of Judah and of the family of David according to prophecy.
It is part of long lists of hard-to-pronounce names that may not seem equally interesting or immediately useful to every reader on the surface. Such details belong to Scripture and can reward study by those interested in the origins and distribution of peoples. As part of that unbroken genealogy it shows God is particular and that a faithful record of each soul is kept in the books of heaven.
