| WHO WAS THE FATHER OF UZZIAH? AMAZIAH OR JORAM? |
| II Chronicles 26:1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,
who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father
Amaziah. (KJV)
Matthew 1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; (KJV)
|
| Note: Uzziah and Ozias are the same person.
Amaziah was Uzziah's father. Joram was Uzziah's great great grandfather. Matthew skipped a few generations, which is permissible in Hebrew genealogies. Joram did begat Uzziah, just not until several generations later. Not a contradiction. |
