Malchiram

Malchiram is named once, in the genealogy of the deported Davidic line. He appears among the sons of Jeconiah, the king carried into Babylonian exile.

A Son of Jeconiah the Captive

The Chronicler frames the listing of these sons by Jeconiah's status as a deportee: "And the sons of Jeconiah, the captive: Shealtiel his son," (1Ch 3:17). The next verse continues the enumeration, and Malchiram stands at its head: "and Malchiram, and Pedaiah, and Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah" (1Ch 3:18). The single line is the entire record — Malchiram receives no offspring, no role, and no later mention; the genealogy preserves the name of a son born into the exile of David's house.
