Commentaries on Matthew 1:8

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Joram begat Ozias - This is the Uzziah, king of Judah, who was struck with the leprosy for his presumption in entering the temple to offer incense before the Lord. See 2 Chronicles 26:16, etc. Ozias was not the immediate son of Joram: there were three kings between them, Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah, which swell the fourteen generations to seventeen: but it is observed that omissions of this kind are not uncommon in the Jewish genealogies. In Ezra 7:3…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2-16Verses 2-16 These verses contain the genealogy of Jesus. Luke also Luke 3 gives a genealogy of the Messiah. No two passages of Scripture have caused more difficulty than these, and various attempts have been made to explain them. There are two sources of difficulty in these catalogues. 1.Many names that are found in the Old Testament are here omitted; and, 2.The tables of Matthew and Luke appear in many points to be different. From Adam to Abraham Matthew…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 8father of (or ancestor of): Here this term refers to multiple generations (2 Chronicles 21:1–26:1). The same is true for Josiah (Matthew 1:11) and Shealtiel (1:12). The family line skips Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah (2 Kings 8:24; 1 Chronicles 3:11; 2 Chronicles 22:1, 11; 24:27). Perhaps this is because of their connection to Ahab and Jezebel.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-87-8. And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8. And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias--or Uzziah. Three kings are here omitted--Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah (1Ch 3:11, 12). Some omissions behooved to be made, to compress the whole into three fourteens (Mt 1:17). The reason why these, rather than other names, are omitted, must be sought in religious considerations--either in the connection of…Read the comment
