Verse 3

The fifth, Shephatiah of Abital: the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife.

The Targumist, Jarchi, and others, maintain that this was Michal; and though it is stated (2 Sa 6:23) that "she had no child to the day of her death," yet she might have had a child before, at that time living.
2 Samuel 3:5

And the sons of Jehoiakim: Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son.

Jehoiachin

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.
15, 2 Kings 24:17
being his uncle
Verse 17

And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son,
Assir
As Salathiel was not the son of Assir, but of Jeconiah, it is probable that the word assir, which signifies a prisoner, is an ephithet applied to Jeconiah, who was a long time prisoner at Babylon.
Salathiel
Ezra 3:2,8, 5:2
Shealtiel
Matthew 1:12
Verse 19

And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei: and the sons of Zerubbabel; Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister:
the sons of Pedaiah
As St. Matthew states that Zerubbabel was the son of Salathiel, Houbigant thinks these words should be omitted; and Pedaiah is wanting in the Arabic and Syriac.
Zerubbabel
Ezra 2:2, 3:2, Haggai 1:12-14, 2:2,4, Zechariah 4:6-9, Matthew 1:12
Zorobabel

And the sons of Hananiah; Pelatiah, and Jesaiah: the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, the sons of Shechaniah.
Nehemiah 10:22
Verse 22

And the sons of Shechaniah; Shemaiah: and the sons of Shemaiah; Hattush, and Igeal, and Bariah, and Neariah, and Shaphat, six.
Hattush
Ezra 8:2
six
Five only are enumerated in the text, which Houbigant would substitute as the true reading; but probably the father is reckoned with his sons.
Verse 23

And the sons of Neariah; Elioenai, and Hezekiah, and Azrikam, three.
Hezekiah
or, Hiskijahu.
