About Hoshama Written by AI
Hoshama is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3:18 as one of the descendant of Jeconiah, the king of Judah who was exiled to Babylon. Jeconiah, also known as Jehoiachin, though the genealogy is complex. He was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BC and spent many years in captivity (2 Kings 24:10 to 16). The genealogy in 1Chronicles 3 lists the descendants of Jeconiah, including Hoshama and his brothers, Shealtiel, Malkiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, and Nedabiah. This record demonstrates that despite Jeconiah's exile and the judgment pronounced upon him (Jeremiah 22:24 to 30), his lineage continued, and he had several sons. His inclusion in the genealogy suggests that he was part of the royal line of David and that the family maintained some level of identity and cohesion even during the Babylonian captivity.
