1 Chronicles 3:11
Abijah was his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son, Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,
BSB
ASV
Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,
KJV
Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,
Ahaziah - Called “Jehoahaz” by a transposition of the elements composing the name, and “Azariah,” probably by a transcriber’s error (see marginal notes and references).
A number that repeats
featured/genealogy-of-jesusMatthew states his own structure: “all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations”, and so on, three times over (Matt 1:17). To hold the count he passes over kings the Old Testament records, and every omitted king is named and linked here against his own chapter in 1 Chronicles and 2 Kings, so the arithmetic is checkable line by line.
Matt 1:1-17; 1 Chr 3:10-16; 2 Kgs 8:24-14:20 (PD); Davies & Allison (cite-only)
Kings left out of the list
Matthew 1:8The three telescoped kings between Joram and Uzziah are datable: Ahaziah 841, Joash 835-796, Amaziah 796-767 BC (Thiele); Jehoiakim 609-598 dropped between Josiah and Jeconiah. Named as data.
Thiele; Albright; Galil; Kitchen (date facts usable); 1 Chr 3:11-16; 2 Kgs 8-14
featured/genealogy-of-jesus. Why fourteen is debated: the letters of David's name total fourteen in Hebrew, which many take as the reason, while others treat that as a later reader's neatness rather than Matthew's intent.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
