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: I have always assumed Uriah was a proselyte, a man that had met David and became a close friend and fellow warrior. As such he would have no claim to the promised land and there would not be considered in the requirement to have an inheritance redeemer to provide an heir to possess his part of the promised land. However if that is right or wrong, the fact remains the Matt 1 was written to show the succession of Kings from David to Jesus. Uriah's bloodline plays no part and is of no effect. Because of this I don't understand Brent insistance that Solomon was the product of the inheritance redeemer law. We know David named Solomon The son he fathered by Bathsheba, king thus the kingly succession is complete just as God had promised |
