Commentaries on Matthew 1:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Josias begat Jechonias, etc. - There are three considerable difficulties in this verse. Josias was not the father of Jechonias; he was only the grandfather of that prince: 1 Chronicles 3:14-16. Jechonias had no brethren; at least, none are on record. Josias died 20 years before the Babylonish captivity took place, and therefore Jechonias and his brethren could not have been begotten about the time they were carried away to Babylon. To this may be added a…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.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren--Jeconiah was Josiah's grandson, being the son of Jehoiakim, Josiah's second son (1Ch 3:15); but Jehoiakim might well be sunk in such a catalogue, being a mere puppet in the hands of the king of Egypt (2Ch 36:4). The "brethren" of Jechonias here evidently mean his uncles--the chief of whom, Mattaniah or Zedekiah, who came to the throne (2Ki 24:17), is, in 2Ch 36:10, as well as here, called "his brother."…Read the comment
