דברי הימים א, פרק ג׳, פסוק י׳

The historical record shifts its focus to trace the royal dynasty. Although King Solomon had other children, the lineage intentionally leaves them out and highlights only Rehoboam. This choice reflects a specific destiny, as the royal throne was designated exclusively for Rehoboam and his future descendants [רד״ק].

As the lineage continues, a clear pattern emerges to establish the exact order of succession for the kings of Judah. The primary approach among commentators is that the constant repetition of a son following his father serves a distinct purpose. It maps out the royal family generation by generation, confirming that each successive heir took the throne directly after his father in an unbroken, sequential line.
