Bur thar it is nor, for according to 1 Chron. 3. 18. Pedajah was not Ir is plain that Fehoghaz ſucceeded Foftah his Father : Ir is cerrain | the Son, but the Brother of Salzthiel, Others think that Salathiel thar amongſt che 7ews it was very ordinary for Perſons to have two | is here faid to have begort Zorobabel, becauſe Zorobabel ſucceeded him Names; thus King UVUzziah in he Book of Kings called Azariah, | in the Kingdom ; but as that is a ſtrange Interpretation of the word 2King.14.21. Moſt, if not all, of Foſ;ah's Sons had rwo Names, it is | begat, ſo neither was Salathiel a King, tho” potfibly the Title of the plain chat Fehoahax his eldeſt Son 1s the fame who in x1 Chron. 3.15. | Crown was in. him, as the Greac Grand-child of 7oſzah ; nor did is called Fohanan, but he Reigned but three Months, probably ſer | ever Zorobabel aſſume the Crown that we read of, Whereas others up by the People, and put down by Pharaoh Necho, in a Battel | fay, that there were two Zorobabels ; and thar this Son was the adop- againſt whom oſiah was flain;z he purſuing his Victory, put him | ted Son -of Salathiel, both theſe rhings are ſuggeſted witchour down, and fer up Eliakim his next Brother, calling him Fehojachim, | Proof. The moſt probable Opinion, which I perceive the beſt In- as he is called 2 Chron. 3. 15. He Reigned eleven years, 2 Chron. 3, | terpreters acquieſce in, is, Thar Salathiel dying wichour ifſue, Pe- s. The King of Babylon purs him down, and ſetteth up Jehojachin | dajah his Brother married his Wite, according to the Law of God, his S5n, who is alſo called Feconiah, and Coniah, 2 Chron. 36. g. | Deut. 25. 5.. and begat Zorobabel of her char had been the Wife of He Reigned but three Months, and ten Days, and the King of Baby- | Salathiel ; and thence it is ſaid Salathiel begat him. Pedajah fo lon tercheth him away, and ſets up his Uncle Zedekiah ( called alſo | raiſing up ſeed to his Brother, according to the Law aforeſaid. To Mattaniah) he Reigned eleven years, as appeareth by 2 Chron. 36. | this ir is objeQed by ſome, Thac the Law was, Thzt the Child ſhould v.11, Then the whole Body of the Zews were carried away Cap- | ſucceed in the name of the Brother that was dead. So that if this were tive into Baby/on. We do not read either 1n the Book of Kings, or | the Senſe, ir ſhould not have been, Salathie! begat Zorobabel, bur Chronicles, that Shallum C Foftah's fourth Son ) ever Reigned, yer | Salathie! begat Salathiel. The Anſwer to this, is nor difficult : For it ſhould ſeem thar he did, by Jer. 22. v. 11. Some think rhar he | to ſucceed in the name of the Brother that # dead, dcth not ſignifie was ſet up in ſtead of Fehzahaz, when he wascarried away. Bur | to be called by the very name with which he was called, bur to :ne Scriprure ſaith nothing of 1r, nor 1s it very probable that the | be denominated his Son, as it begotten by him. Ard this 1s evi- Conqueror ſhould skip over the Second and Third Son, and ſer up the | dent from Ruth 4. 19. where Boaz hath thefe words : Ruth the Purth, But ir is not my preſent Concern, to inquire after Shallum, | Moabiteſs, the Wife of Mahlon, have T purchaſed to be my W.fe, to raiſe bur only after Feconiah menrion'd in this Verſe, and the other Feco- | up the Name of the Dead upm his Inheritance, that the Name of the 114) mentioned ver.1 2. as the Head of thoſe Generations which make | Dead be not cut off from among his Brethren. Yet v. 21. Boaz has up the Jaſt Period, As to this Feconiah, the moſt probable Opinion is, | ving a Son by Ruth, did ror call his name Mahlon, by the name of that it was Pehojakhim, who was alſo called Feconiah ; and thar the | his Father, but Obed.
Fecmiah mentioned ver. 12. was Fehojakin rhe Son of Fehojakim. In 12 And Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat this I find ſome of the beſt Interpreters acquieſcing ; nor indeed is Elia 4 Fliakim beard
