Verse 13. - And Zorobabel ( Zerubbabel, Revised Version) begat Abiad. Here the two lines of pedigree in St. Matthew and St. Luke seem tc separate, and not to converge again till we come to Matthan (or Matthat), the grandfather of Joseph, which name is common to both. The Bishop of Bath and Wells has shown some reason for supposing that Rhesa, mentioned in St. Luke as Zerubbabel's son, is merely a title signifying "a chief," and also for identifying Hananiah, who is called a son of Zerubbabel (1 Chronicles 3:19), with Joanna, who follows Rhesa in St. Luke (Luke 3:27), and there being some relation between the Juda of St. Luke and the Abiud (i.e. father of Juda) given as Zerubbabel's son in St. Matthew. Except in these few particulars, the two lines show no connexion of names, and it seems likely that the family of David had fallen into low estate for several generations before the birth of Christ. Matthew 1:13 may look like a simple list of names, yet each clause reinforces God’s unwavering commitment to His covenant. Zerubbabel signals restored kingship after exile, Abiud and Eliakim show God working in obscurity, and Azor anchors the lineage as the centuries advance. Together they assure us that, generation after generation, God preserves the line that leads to Jesus, proving His Word true and His salvation plan unstoppable. Parallel Commentaries ...
