Matthew 1:12

“And after they were brought to Babylon, etc.] Not Jechonias, but the father of Jechonias, and the Jews. Jechonias begat Salathiel. Not Jechonias mentioned in the former verse, but his son, called Jehoiachin, (<122406>2 Kings 24:6,8) and Coniah, (<242224>Jeremiah 22:24,28) both which are rendered Jechonias by the Septuagint in (<143608>2 Chronicles 36:8 <242224>Jeremiah 22:24) and he is so called, (<130316>1 Chronicles 3:16). Abulpharagius f27 calls him Junachir, and says he is the same who in Matthew is called Juchonia; and he asserts him to be the father of Daniel the Prophet. But here a considerable difficulty arises, how he can be said to beget Salathiel, called Shealtiel, (<370101>Haggai…”

“And after they were brought to Babylon--after the migration of Babylon. Jechonias begat Salathiel--So Ch1 3:17. Nor does this contradict Jer 22:30, "Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man (Coniah, or Jeconiah) childless"; for what follows explains in what sense this was meant--"for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David." He was to have seed, but no reigning child. and Salathiel--or Shealtiel. begat Zorobabel--So Ezr 3:2; Neh 12:1; Hag 1:1. But it would appear from Ch1 3:19 that Zerubbabel was Salathiel's grandson, being the son of Pedaiah, whose name, for some reason unknown, is omitted.”

“These verses contain the genealogy of Jesus. Luke also Luke 3:0 gives a genealogy of the Messiah. No two passages of Scripture have caused more difficulty than these, and various attempts have been made to explain them. There are two sources of difficulty in these catalogues. Many names that are found in the Old Testament are here omitted; and, The tables of Matthew and Luke appear in many points to be different. From Adam to Abraham Matthew has mentioned no names, and Luke only has given the record. From Abraham to David the two tables are alike. Of course there is no difficulty in reconciling these two parts of the tables. The difficulty lies in that part of the genealogy from David to…”

“1:12-16 Although the Old Testament is clearly the source for 1:1-11, Matthew is probably also dependent upon royal archives and oral traditions for 1:12-16. 1:12 Shealtiel: See 1 Chr 3:17-19; Ezra 3:2.”
