Bible Question: In Chronicles 3:10-16 there are some kings listed who are left out in Matthew 1:7-11. Did Matthew leave them out because they were unrepentant? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Matthew is speaking the important members of the line of David, not necessarily the ones who were repentant. If he listed only the repentant, then Jeconiah wouldn't be in the list. He's among the worst of David's decendants, and it was due to many of his choices as king that lead to the exile, and the throne being taken away from the line of Solomon. Also, Rehoboam wouldn't be in the list, cause it was under his rule that Israel was divided into two kingdoms. Matthew is listing the more famous of Christ's lineage. Jalek |
