Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 3:11-12
Matthew 1:8 lists "Joram begat Ozias," but 1 Chronicles 3:11-12 lists several generations between Joram and Ozias (Uzziah), including Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah.
1 Chronicles 3:11-12: Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son, [Ahaziah: or, Azariah]
Paradox #1
In Matthew 1:8, there is a genealogical discrepancy. This verse mentions certain names in the genealogy of Jesus that do not match exactly with the Old Testament records found in 1 Chronicles 3. The differences in the listed ancestors create inconsistency with earlier biblical genealogies.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Matthew 1:8 involves the genealogy of Jesus. In this verse, there are omissions of some kings who are mentioned in the Old Testament genealogies. Specifically, between Jehoram and Uzziah (also known as Azariah), the names of Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah are left out. This inconsistency raises questions about the completeness and accuracy of the genealogy as presented.
Paradox #3
Matthew 1:8 lists the genealogy of Jesus but omits some generations that are mentioned in the Old Testament, such as Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah. This omission creates a numerical discrepancy between the genealogies in Matthew and the genealogies in 1 Chronicles and 2 Kings.
