Tracing a family tree relies on a natural, unbroken flow of generations. In the ongoing record of the royal lineage, a new group of individuals, including Malchiram and Pedaiah, appears as a direct continuation of the family line.

Although their exact relationship is not spelled out directly, there is a clear agreement that all these men are the sons of Shealtiel. The record is written in a brief, concise manner.
