1 Chronicles 3:19
And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei: and the sons of Zerubbabel; Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister: And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei: and the sons of Zerubbabel; Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister:
1 Chronicles 3:19 belongs to the genealogies in Chronicles that preserve names and family descent and lines. Those genealogies trace family lines among the tribes, with particular attention to Judah and the priesthood, and this verse stands within Judah's records. After the exile such preservation of family descent was needed to establish hereditary land ownership and temple duties.
They show the preservation of the records of God's children and the integrity of the tribes. The genealogy of the tribe of Judah was carefully preserved, kept unbroken, because Christ came through Judah, Jesus coming from Judah and David's family. The genealogies thus show that God is particular and that a faithful record of every soul is kept in heaven. Genealogies are inspired and preserved for instruction, though they are not necessarily as interesting or instructive as the Gospels or other passages and need not be read with equal frequency. The long record of names and chronology is usually considered dry, tedious and uninteresting, yet it is illuminated by beautiful gems.
