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 context — 1 Chronicles 3:17
And the sons of Jeconiah were Assir and Shealtiel his son.
