A reference to the Davidic genealogy. Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, and Jehoiakim, four Jewish kings; 1Chronicle 3. Ahaziah reigned but one year. Joash reigned forty years and both Kings and Chronicles affirm that "He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings xii, 2; 2 Chron. xxiv, 2). Amaziah reigned twenty-nine years, and he, too, "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings xiv, 3). These four Kings was omitted in Mathews, for what reason, only the anonymous author [of Matthews] knows.

∙ 8y agoAccording to the Gospel According to St Matthew, the following kings were all in the genealogy of Jesus: David, Solomon, Roboam (Rehoboam), Abia (Abijah), Asa, Josaphat, Joram, Ozias (Ahaziah), Joatham, Achaz, Ezekias, Manasses (Manasseh), Amon, Josias, Jechonias (Jehoahaz). Three Old Testament kings had to be omitted by Matthew in order to have three groups of 14 generations: from Abraham to David, from David to Josiah, and again from Josiah to Jesus (he also placed David in two groups).
According to Luke's Gospel, only King David was in the genealogy of Jesus.

What is the opening topic of Matthew in the Bible?
The opening topic of the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible is the genealogy of Jesus, tracing his lineage back to Abraham. This genealogy highlights Jesus's connection to the promises made to Abraham and David in the Old Testament.
How many generations were between Abraham and Jesus?
AnswerMatthew provides a genealogy for Jesus, through Joseph and back through the male line, giving 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus. According to Mathew, Jesus was descended from all the kings of Judah, but he omits the Old Testament kings Uzziah, Amaziah and Jehoash, who are listed in the Old Testament between Ahaziah (Ozias) and Jotham (Joatham).Luke provides a genealogy for Jesus, through Joseph and back through the male line, giving 57 generations from Abraham to Jesus. In the Old Testament, Amminadab is the son of Aram, but Luke inserts a generation, making a new person, Admin, the son of Aram and Amminadab the grandson of Aram. Unlike Matthew, he does not follow the royal line after David, giving a completely different genealogy from this point on.
Is there a hidden verse in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew's Gospel?
There is, of course, no hidden verse in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus, but there is arguably a hidden meaning. Matthew wanted to demonstrate that Jesus was destined for greatness. To do this, he produced a genealogy that demonstrated that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus. To do this, he had to ignore 3 kings in the Old Testament and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah. This continued from the time of the Exile to Jesus, but during these generations we have no other genealogy with which to compare Matthew's. Fourteen was regarded as a magic number, and the apparent coincidence that each fourteenth generation in this genealogy was a great man in Jewish history, meant that Jesus would also be a great man. Matthew wrote; ".....in all, forty-two generations (1: 17) but only 41 are listed, so there must be a missing or hidden verse somewhere.

What is Matthew demonstrating by compressing the genealogy of Christ numerically?
A:It is not so much that Matthew compresses the genealogy of Jesus, as that this genealogy was written to demonstrate something about Jesus. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says there is little likelihood that this genealogy or the parallel on in Luke's Gospel is strictly historical. Matthew (summarised in 1:17) demonstrates that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus, through Joseph. To do this, the author had to compress the traditional Old Testament genealogy, ignoring three kings, and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah. Then, we have no possible way of verifying Matthew's list of Jesus' ancestors from the time of the Exile. Fourteen and seven were regarded as auspicious numbers, so by this means Matthew demonstrates that Jesus was destined for greatness.

What were the Jews looking for in Jesus's blood line?
The genealogy in Matthew shows that Jesus is a legal descendant of David through the royal line. This genealogy traces the legal descent of Jesus as King of Israel. Luke's genealogy concludes with Joseph, of whom Jesus was the adopted Son, the genealogy in Luke 3 probably traces the ancestry of Mary, of whom Jesus was the real Son. Jesus is legal heir to the throne of David through Joseph and the actual seed of David through Mary.
