Exegesis

The verse’s structure is a compact genealogical list without a finite verb, relying on the vav-prefixed construct uvenei {וּבְנֵי | ūḇənê} ‘and sons of’ to introduce yěḵānyāh {יְכָנְיָה | yěḵānyāh} ‘Jeconiah’.

Root and etymology

b-n-ybet–nun–yod

to build, become a son

In context1 Chronicles 3:17

And the sons of Jeconiah were Assir and Shealtiel his son.
