Mat 1:1 The book <strong>of</strong> the generation <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Jesus</strong> Christ, the son <strong>of</strong> David, the son <strong>of</strong><br />

Abraham.<br />

Mat 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac<br />

begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and<br />

his brethren;<br />

Mat 1:3 and Judah begat Perez and Zerah<br />

<strong>of</strong> Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and<br />

Hezron begat Ram;<br />

This tallies with the generations given in 1<br />

Chronicles 2<br />

1Ch 2:1 These are the sons <strong>of</strong> Israel:<br />

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,<br />

Issachar, and Zebulun,<br />

1Ch 2:3 The sons <strong>of</strong> Judah:<br />

1Ch 2:4 And Tamar his daughter-in-law<br />

bare him Perez and Zerah. All the sons <strong>of</strong><br />

Judah were five.<br />

1Ch 2:5 The sons <strong>of</strong> Perez: Hezron, and<br />

Hamul.<br />

1Ch 2:9 The sons also <strong>of</strong> Hezron, that<br />

were born unto him: Jerahmeel, and Ram,<br />

and Chelubai.<br />

Mat 1:4 and Ram begat Amminadab; and<br />

Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon<br />

begat Salmon;<br />

Mat 1:5 and Salmon begat Boaz <strong>of</strong> Rahab;<br />

and Boaz begat Obed <strong>of</strong> Ruth; and Obed<br />

begat Jesse;<br />

Mat 1:6 and Jesse begat David the king.<br />

And David begat fourteen generations; and<br />

from David unto the carrying away to<br />

Babylon fourteen generations; and from the<br />

carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ<br />

fourteen generations.<br />

1Ch 2:10 And Ram begat Amminadab,<br />

and Amminadab begat Nahshon, prince <strong>of</strong><br />

the children <strong>of</strong> Judah;<br />

1Ch 2:11 and Nahshon begat Salma, and<br />

Salma begat Boaz,<br />

1Ch 2:12 and Boaz begat Obed, and Obed<br />

begat Jesse;<br />

1Ch 2:13 and Jesse begat his first-born<br />

Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and<br />

Shimea the third,<br />

Now Matthew gives a block <strong>of</strong> 14 generations from David to Captivity. We have these generations enumerated<br />

to us in 1 Chronicles 3:4-5 and 10-18<br />

Mat 1:6 and Jesse the<br />

father <strong>of</strong> King David.<br />

David was the father <strong>of</strong><br />

Solomon, whose mother<br />

had been Uriah's wife,<br />

1 Chr 3:4 . David reigned in<br />

Jerusalem thirty-three years,<br />

1 Chr 3:5 and these were the<br />

children born to him there:<br />

Shammua, Shobab, Nathan<br />

and Solomon. These four<br />

were by Bathsheba daughter<br />

<strong>of</strong> Ammiel.1<br />

Mat 1:7 Solomon the<br />

father <strong>of</strong> Rehoboam,<br />

Rehoboam the father <strong>of</strong><br />
