Matthew Genealogy Comparison
A compact metadata-only preview of Matthew 1's 14 / 14 / 14 structure with selected Old Testament genealogy comparisons. It does not attempt exhaustive genealogy reconstruction or exact chronology proof.
From Abraham to David
First fourteen generationsMatthew 1:17 fourteen-generation structure
Matthew's textual structure
Matthew presents Christ's genealogy with Abraham and David as major textual markers. This preview follows Matthew 1's literary grouping and does not claim exact chronology.
| Matthew | Old Testament Comparison | Observation | Scripture Anchor | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abraham | Abraham | Aligned | Matthew / Genesis textual connection Matthew presents Christ's genealogy with Abraham and David as major textual markers. This preview follows Matthew 1's textual structure rather than proving exact chronology. | |
| Isaac | Isaac | Aligned | Matthew / Genesis textual connection | |
| Jacob | Jacob / Israel | Name connection | Matthew / Genesis name connection Jacob receives the name Israel in Genesis 32. | |
| Judah | Judah | Line transition | Matthew / Genesis textual connection Matthew's genealogy continues through Judah among Jacob's sons. | |
| Boaz | Boaz / Ruth | Ruth connection | Matthew / Ruth textual connection Matthew's genealogy gathers Ruth and Boaz into the Davidic line as part of its textual arrangement. This preview keeps the connection at the level of Scripture-reference comparison. | |
| David | David | Kingship marker United KingdomDavid | Matthew / Davidic covenant connection David functions here as a major kingship marker in Matthew's genealogy. This preview does not attempt a full dynastic chronology beyond the selected Scripture anchors. |
From David to the Deportation
Second fourteen generationsMatthew 1:17 fourteen-generation structure
Matthew compared with Old Testament royal genealogy
This section follows the Davidic royal line toward the Babylonian deportation as Matthew arranges it. The comparison is observational and does not attempt an exhaustive royal chronology.
| Matthew | Old Testament Comparison | Observation | Scripture Anchor | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joram → Uzziah | Joram → Ahaziah → Joash → Amaziah → Uzziah | Omissions observed when compared with OT royal line JudahJoramUzziah | Matthew / Chronicles / Kings comparison Uzziah is also associated with the name Azariah in the Old Testament royal accounts. Matthew 1:8 moves from Joram to Uzziah, while Chronicles and Kings show Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah between them. This preview marks the difference as a selective genealogical arrangement rather than an exact chronology problem to solve. | |
| Uzziah | Uzziah / Azariah | Name variant JudahUzziah / Azariah | Matthew / Kings / Chronicles name comparison 2 Kings 15 uses the name Azariah, while 2 Chronicles 26 uses Uzziah. | |
| Josiah → Jeconiah | Josiah → Jehoiakim → Jehoiachin / Jeconiah | Omission observed when compared with OT royal line JudahJosiahJeconiah | Matthew / Chronicles / Kings comparison Jeconiah is associated with the names Jehoiachin and Coniah. Matthew 1:11 presents the royal line around the deportation in compressed form. Chronicles and Kings show Jehoiakim between Josiah and Jeconiah, so this preview keeps the observation cautious rather than treating it as exact chronology proof. |
