Analysis

This part of the list coincides with the list of the Kings of Judah that is present in a number of other parts of the Bible. Unlike other parts of Matthew's genealogy this list is fully in keeping with the other sources. The first listed is King Solomon of Israel who is said to have reigned c.962 BC to c.922 BC. The genealogy then follows is that of the kings of Judah, beginning with Rehoboam whose reign William F. Albright dates from 922 BC to 915 BC. Rehoboam's son Abijah (also written as "Abia") ruled from his father's death for two years and his son Asa of Judah ruled from 913 BC to 873 BC. Rehoboam is most noted for presiding over the breakup of his kingdom and a civil war between the tribes of Israel. His son Abijah had a brief and unsuccessful reign. Asa's long reign was more successful.

Robert H. Gundry believes that the addition of a "φ" to Asa's name is an attempt to link the king to Asaph, to whom Psalm 78 is attributed, while Psalm 78 contains important messianic prophecies. Raymond E. Brown, and most other scholars feel this is more likely an error than a scheme and most translators of the Bible "correct" Matthew in this verse. Who made the error is uncertain. The author of Matthew could have been working from an incorrect source, he could have made the error himself, or an early copier of the Gospel could have added the letter.
