1 Chronicles 3:7 (KJV)

What does 1 Chronicles 3:7 mean?

1 Chronicles 3:7 names three of King David’s sons: Nogah, Nepheg, and Japhia. The names form part of a record of David’s family, specifically the children born to him in Jerusalem.

The verse continues a list begun before it and runs on into the next verse. Its repeated “and” joins each name to the larger list rather than introducing a new event or speaker.
