What does 1 Chronicles 3:24 mean?

1 Chronicles 3:24 records seven sons of Elioenai as the next generation in a family line traced from David. The verse gives their names as part of a family record, identifying them through their father and their place in that line.

The list follows the mention of Elioenai in verse 23. The final word, “seven,” gives the total number of sons named. The verse also brings the family record in chapter 3 to a close.
