Jeconiah: the name by which the exile is dated verbal / quotation: confirmed
The rarest royal lexeme in this unit is יְכָנְיָה (Yᵉkonyâh, H3204), which the Verifier finds in only seven verses of the entire Hebrew Bible. Four of those seven lie in Jeremiah. Jeremiah 27:20, 28:4 and 24:1 each additionally share יְהוֹיָקִים (H3079) with 1 Chronicles 3:16, so the pairing of father and son in this verse is the same pairing Jeremiah uses. Ellicott records the bare fact from Kings: Jeconiah "was carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar ( 2Kings 24:15 )." ⚙ The Chronicler's list therefore closes on the one name in it that Jeremiah keeps reaching for, and Ellicott records where that man ended. What those Jeremiah verses themselves say the brief does not supply, and nothing is quoted from them here.
Jeremiah 24:1 · Jeremiah 27:20 · Jeremiah 28:4
basis: Verifier: shared Hebrew lexeme H3204 Yᵉkonyâh, a rare name occurring in only 7 verses canon-wide, plus H3079 Yᵉhôwyâqîym (in 37 vv) shared in each of the three refs. Rarity of H3204 carries the verbal tier; this is shared vocabulary, not a quotation of one text by another.
The reach of one captivity: Jeconiah in Esther and in Jeremiah's letter structural / thematic: confirmed
The same rare lexeme H3204 reaches outside the historical books. The Verifier finds it at Esther 2:6 and at Jeremiah 29:2, and again at 1 Chronicles 3:17, which K&D identifies as the place where "the sons of Jeconiah follow." ⚙ Three books besides this chapter carry the name, and the brief supplies only the co-occurrence, not the wording of any of those verses; none is quoted here. What can honestly be said is that the last royal name of this unit is also a name by which a book of the Prophets and a book of the Writings each reach back to the same generation. The shared basis is a proper name, which is far weaker evidence of literary dependence than a shared verb or common noun would be, and for that reason this thread has been deliberately downgraded below the verbal tier: these texts speak of one man, which does not mean any of them cites another.
Esther 2:6 · Jeremiah 29:2 · 1 Chronicles 3:17
basis: Verifier: shared Hebrew lexeme H3204 Yᵉkonyâh (in 7 vv). The lexeme is rare enough to have carried a verbal tier, and it has been downgraded on purpose: it is a bare personal name shared by texts of three different books with no shared phrasing behind it, so the honest claim is a confirmed shared referent within a common motif of the deportation, not a verbal link.
The six years the chain does not mention: Athaliah and the hidden Joash structural / thematic: confirmed
Verse 11 runs "Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son" without a seam, and the Verifier finds all three of those names standing together in exactly one other verse of the canon: 2 Kings 11:2. The brief supplies the lexeme overlap only and not that verse's wording, so nothing is quoted from it here. Ellicott states the editorial fact directly: in this line "the usurper Athaliah is omitted between Ahaziah and Joash." K&D gives the reason: "because she did not belong to the posterity of David." ⚙ Pulpit dates the gap precisely, calling Athaliah one who "reigned by her own usurpation for six years on the death of her son Azariah." ⚙ So the Chronicler's unbroken בְּנוֹ across v. 11 is not a claim that the throne went undisturbed. It is a claim about descent and nothing else, and by K&D's stated rule the usurper drops out of the record because descent is the one thing she did not have.
2 Kings 11:2
basis: Verifier: shared Hebrew lexemes H3141 Yôwrâm (in 16 vv), H274 ʼĂchazyâh (in 30 vv), H3101 Yôwʼâsh (in 41 vv). Three names shared, none rare enough to carry a verbal tier; the link is a shared cast of persons within one episode of the succession, so it is tiered structural.
Zephaniah's pedigree, run backwards through the same kings structural / thematic: confirmed
The Verifier records three lexemes shared between this unit and Zephaniah 1:1: H2396 Chizqîyâh (v. 13), H2977 Yôʼshîyâh (v. 14, v. 15) and H526 ʼÂmôwn (v. 14). ⚙ Three of the royal names of this unit therefore stand together in the opening verse of a prophetic book. What that verse does with them the brief does not report, and nothing is quoted from it here; the recorded link is the co-occurrence itself. It is worth saying plainly that the brief's lexicon notes H2396 is borne by two Israelites besides the king, so whether Zephaniah's Hizkiah is the king of 1 Chronicles 3:13 is not established by the shared lexeme and is not asserted here.
Zephaniah 1:1
basis: Verifier: shared Hebrew lexemes H2396 Chizqîyâh (in 116 vv), H2977 Yôʼshîyâh (in 48 vv), H526 ʼÂmôwn (in 17 vv). Common lexemes, no quotation; the shared pattern is the use of the same Judahite royal names as a chronological frame.
Where the Chronicler's chain ends, Jeremiah's dating begins structural / thematic: confirmed
The break at Josiah in v. 15 is not only a grammatical seam; it is the point from which a whole prophetic book starts counting. The Verifier pairs this unit with Jeremiah 1:3 and Jeremiah 37:1 on H2977 Yôʼshîyâh and H3079 Yᵉhôwyâqîym, and with Jeremiah 25:1, 36:1, 45:1 and 46:2 on H2977 together with H7243 rᵉbîyʻîy, "fourth," the very ordinal this unit attaches to Shallum. ⚙ In 1 Chronicles 3:15 that ordinal numbers a son. What it numbers in those Jeremiah verses the brief does not supply, so no claim is made about it: what is recorded is an overlap of vocabulary only, which is why this is tiered structural and not verbal.
Jeremiah 1:3 · Jeremiah 37:1 · Jeremiah 25:1 · Jeremiah 36:1
basis: Verifier: shared Hebrew lexemes H2977 Yôʼshîyâh (in 48 vv) and H3079 Yᵉhôwyâqîym (in 37 vv) for Jeremiah 1:3 and 37:1; H2977 plus H7243 rᵉbîyʻîy (in 54 vv) for Jeremiah 25:1 and 36:1. All common lexemes; the H7243 overlap is coincidental in sense (regnal year vs. birth order) and is reported, not leaned on.
Shallum and Jehoahaz: an identification six commentators make and the Verifier did not return flagged: verify source
Benson, Poole, Gill, JFB, Cambridge and K&D all identify the "fourth Shallum" of v. 15 with the Jehoahaz of 2 Kings, and all rest the identification chiefly on Jeremiah 22:11. K&D: there "it is expressly declared that Shallum, the fourth son of Josiah, was king of Judah instead of his father, and was led away into captivity, and never saw his native land again, as history narrates of Jehoahaz." Poole gives five numbered grounds and Benson four. ⚙ This thread is flagged rather than confirmed, and honestly so: Jeremiah 22:11 did not appear among the Verifier's computed candidates for this unit, so there is no machine-recorded lexeme basis behind it. The basis is a convergence of named commentators reasoning from content. Barnes, moreover, dissents on a connected point, holding that Shallum "was consequently the third, and not the fourth, son." Note also that Poole's and Benson's citations here are internally inconsistent in the received text of their own notes (Poole numbers Jeremiah's examples as 1 Chronicles 3:11, 18, 24), which is a further reason to verify the references directly rather than to rely on this thread.
Jeremiah 22:11 · 2 Kings 23:30
basis: No Verifier-computed lexeme basis: Jeremiah 22:11 and 2 Kings 23:30 were not returned among the thread candidates for this unit. The link rests on the convergent judgment of six named commentators (Benson, Poole, Gill, JFB, Cambridge, K&D), with Barnes dissenting on the ordinal, and on reference strings that are garbled in the received text of Poole's and Benson's notes. Verify against the primary texts before relying on it.
The same kings, counted again in Greek structural / thematic: confirmed
Pulpit notes at v. 10 that the name Abijah appears "in the New Testament genealogy ( Matthew 1:7, 8 )" and at v. 12 that "We have the name as Azariah in Matthew 1:8, 9"; Cambridge likewise sends the reader from 1 Chronicles 3:10 to Matthew 1:7. ⚙ Matthew's opening chapter runs the same Davidic succession, and on the tool's own reading (the brief supplies no text of Matthew against which to check it) that chapter closes its second section, as Chronicles closes this unit, at Jeconiah and the deportation. This link cannot be tiered verbal: a Greek text and a Hebrew text share no Strong's numbers, and the Verifier computes no cross-Testament lexeme basis. What is recorded here is only what two named commentators record, that the names of this list recur in Matthew's, plus the shared structural fact that both lists organize the same kings around the exile.
Matthew 1:7-11
basis: Cross-Testament (Greek to Hebrew): shared Strong's numbers are impossible in principle, so no verbal tier is available. Basis is the explicit cross-reference to Matthew 1:7-9 recorded by Pulpit (at vv. 10 and 12) and Cambridge (at v. 10), plus the shared structural pattern of a Davidic king list terminating at the Babylonian deportation.
