Write ye this man childlesse] Enter his name in the roiall genealogie or descent, without mention of any issue: either, as some, because he had none at all, but died childlesse: or, as others rather, for the reason here subjoyned; because albeit he had issue, begotten and born in the captivitie, Vers. 28. 1 Chron. 3. 15, 17. Matthew 1:12. yet none of his issue were to succeed him in the kingdome: for Zedekiah his unckle was made King in his stead. 2 Kings 24:27. nor did any of his posteritie attain to the roiall estate; which expired in Zedekiah. See the like of Jehoiakim, Chap. 36. 30.
