The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 30. Write this man barren. That is childless: not that he had no children, but that his children should never sit on the throne of Juda. Challoner. 5:28. Matthew 1:12. Ezekiel 17:24. Zorobabel was of his seed, yet he never obtained the title or sovereign power of a king. The Machabees were of a different family. Saint Jerome—Joachin, or Jechonias, was restored indeed to some favour, (4 Kennicott. 25:27) but not to the kingdom, no more than any of his posterity, till Christ. Worthington.
