What does 1 Chronicles 3:20 mean?

1 Chronicles 3:20 lists five sons—Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushabhesed—who are part of a genealogy. This verse simply records their names as descendants in the family line being traced.

This verse is part of a larger section where the writer of 1 Chronicles is carefully documenting the descendants of King David. The list is not telling a story or giving commands; it is preserving the names of these individuals as part of Israel’s royal lineage. The chronicler is speaking to the returned exiles, reminding them of their heritage and the continuity of David’s family.
