And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son,
Ver. 17. And the sons of Jeconiah.] Natural sons Jeconiah had, Jer 22:28 but because none of them succeeded him in the kingdom, therefore he is said to be written childless. Jer 22:30
Assir, Salathiel his son.] Salathiel might be called Assir, that is, one in bonds; because Jeconiah begat him in his bonds. See the like, Exodus 2:22 .
