AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 1:6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. [Ruth 4:18-22; 1 Chr 2:13-15] |
Subject: Uriah the Hittite in Christ's lineage? |
Bible Note: Brent compare the genealogy of Matt 1 and Luke 3. One is establishing the legal or kingly line from David to Jesus and the other a blood line from David through Nathan to Mary the only human parent of Jesus. Your assertion that Uriah is mentioned to add a foreigner other than the ones you mentioned make no sense. By Jewish law a brother is required to give a heir for this dead brothers wife if none exists. It is not a requirement to marry his brothers wife only to provide her an heir. Uriah is dead. David married Bathsheba, This was not a fulfillment of brother providing a heir for his dead brother. This is a man and a wife having son. Nowhere in scripture is Solomon ever referred to as Uriah's heir, but only as David's. The line of Solomon is traced to Joseph but because Mary was a virgin at conception Joseph did not provide a blood line to David. Only legal ascension to David's throne which is established by the father not the mother. In the other the lineage in Luke the lineage is from David through Nathan to Mary who did complete the blood line. Nothing in scripture supports or eludes to your hypothesis. Aside from the mention of Uriah which is clearly being used to identify Bathsheba nothing suggests Uraih had any part in the genealogy or lineage of Jesus. Perhaps I missing something but a mention of a name to complete the identification of another does not establish a shift in genealogy. |
