Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 1:11

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

11. And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren —Jeconiah was Josiah's grandson, being the son of Jehoiakim, Josiah's second son ( :- ); but Jehoiakim might well be sunk in such a catalogue, being a mere puppet in the hands of the king of Egypt ( :- ). The "brethren" of Jechonias here evidently mean his uncles—the chief of whom, Mattaniah or Zedekiah, who came to the throne ( 2 Kings 24:17 ), is, in 2 Chronicles 36:10 , as well as here, called "his brother." about the time they were carried away to Babylon —literally, "of their migration," for the Jews avoided the word "captivity" as too bitter a recollection, and our Evangelist studiously respects the national feeling. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
