Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jeconiah: 2 Kings 24:6, 2 Kings 24:8, 2 Kings 25:27, 2 Chronicles 36:9, Jehoiachin, Jeremiah 22:24, Jeremiah 22:28, Coniah, Matthew 1:11, Jechonias

Zedekiah: As the sons of Jeconiah are enumerated in the succeeding verse, and as Zedekiah is no where else mentioned as the son of Jeconiah, but as the son of Josiah, it is highly probable that son here means successor. 1 Chronicles 3:15, 2 Kings 24:17, being his uncle

Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 36:8 - Jehoiachin 2 Chronicles 36:10 - Zedekiah Jeremiah 22:30 - Write Jeremiah 37:1 - Coniah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the sons of Jehoiakim; Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son. This is not the Zedekiah mentioned in the preceding verse; for he was not the son but the uncle of Jeconiah, unless he should be called his son because he succeeded him in the kingdom; but he seems to be another of that name, nowhere else mentioned, and not the son of Jeconiah in any sense; he is not reckoned among them in the following verses, but of Jehoiakim.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 3:16. Zedekiah his son. — If this be the same who was the last king of Judah, before the captivity, the word son must be taken here to signify successor; for it is certain that Zedekiah was the successor of Jeconiah, and that Zedekiah was the son of Josiah, and not of Jehoiakim.
