Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 3:15-16
Matthew 1:11 lists Josiah as the father of Jeconias, while 1 Chronicles lists Josiah as the father of Jehoiakim, and Jehoiakim as the father of Jeconiah (Jeconias).
1 Chronicles 3:15-16: And the sons of Josiah [were], the firstborn Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum. [Johanan: or, Jehoahaz] [Jehoiakim: or, Eliakim] [Zedekiah: or, Mattaniah]
Paradox #1
Matthew 1:11 presents a potential inconsistency with the genealogy of Jesus, as it lists Jeconiah as an ancestor. This is puzzling because, in Jeremiah 22:30, Jeconiah is cursed, with none of his descendants allowed to sit on the throne of David. This raises the question of how Jesus, who is considered to fulfill the Davidic line, could come from Jeconiah if his line is cursed.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Matthew 1:11 is about the genealogy of Jesus. The verse lists Jeconiah as the father of Shealtiel, but according to 1 Chronicles 3:16-17, Jeconiah's son is Shealtiel through an intermediary or there could be a different lineage described. This inconsistency involves the names and order of ancestors.
Paradox #3
The potential contradiction in Matthew 1:11 involves the genealogy of Jesus, where Jeconiah is listed as a father of Shealtiel. This seems inconsistent because other parts of the Bible, specifically 1 Chronicles 3:16-17, suggest that Jeconiah did not directly father Shealtiel, indicating there might be a skipped generation in Matthew's genealogy.
