7-8. And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8. And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias —or Uzziah. Three kings are here omitted— Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah ( 1 Chronicles 3:11 ; 1 Chronicles 3:12 ). Some omissions behooved to be made, to compress the whole into three fourteens ( Matthew 1:17 ). The reason why these, rather than other names, are omitted, must be sought in religious considerations—either in the connection of those kings with the house of Ahab (as LIGHTFOOT, EBRARD, and ALFORD view it); in their slender right to be regarded as true links in the theocratic chain (as LANGE takes it); or in some similar disqualification. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
