Setting
- Speaker: narrator (the Chronicler), in the royal genealogy
- Audience: the restored community in the Persian province of Yehud, rebuilding around temple and priesthood with no king of their own
- Location: the kingdom of Judah, through the exile, to the return
- Time period: genealogical material reaching from Adam to the returnees, compiled after the return from Babylon, commonly placed c. 400 BC
Theological reading
The Davidic line traced from Solomon through the kings of Judah, into the captivity, and out the other side to Zerubbabel. Its function in a book written for the restored community is to demonstrate that the line survived the exile intact.
Two observations. The list runs continuously through the kings Matthew 1:8-11 abbreviates, which is how we know Matthew's omissions are deliberate compression to reach his fourteen-generation pattern rather than ignorance of the record. And it ends on Zerubbabel, governor of Judah at the rebuilding of the temple, who appears in Haggai and Zechariah as the bearer of the signet-ring promise and in both New Testament genealogies (Matthew 1:12-13, Luke 3:27). The Chronicler stops where his own community's hope was standing._

Why these four translations
ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.
The four:
- ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
- WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
- KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
- YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
