And the sons of Jeconiah, etc.] For though he was pronounced childless, (<242230>Jeremiah 22:30), that respects not his having no children in any sense, but none to succeed him in the kingdom: Assir; which signifies bound, or a prisoner, because, as Kimchi thinks, he was born in a prison, his father then being a captive in Babylon; but rather it refers to Jeconiah himself, and is an appellation of him, and to be rendered, the sons of Jeconiah the captive: which agrees best with the Hebrew accents: Salathiel his son; the same that is called Shealtiel, (<370101>Haggai 1:1) who was both the proper son of Jeconiah, and who succeeded him, as some think, in the honour and dignity the king of Babylon raised him to.
