David was the father of Solomon (Grk: Solomona) through Uriah’s (Grk: Ourias) wife, 7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam (Grk: Roboam), Rehoboam the father of Abijah (Grk: Abia), Abijah the father of Asa (Grk: Asaf), 8 Asa the father of Jehoshapat (Grk: Yosafat).

12 And after the deportation to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel (Grk: Salathiel), Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel (Grk: Zorobabel), 13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud (Grk: Abioud), Abiud was the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud (Grk: Elioud), 15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Yacob (Grk: Yakob), 16 Yacob the father of Yosef (Grk: Yosef), the husband of Maria (Grk: Marias) who Yeshua (Grk: Yesous), the one called the messiah was born to.

17 So the generations from Abraham to David numbered fourteen, from David to the deportation to Babylon there were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the messiah there were fourteen generations.

18 [ref]Now this is how the birth of Yeshua came about: Maria his mother was engaged to Yosef. But before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the work of the holy spirit. 19 But Yosef, her husband to be was a good man, and not wishing to disgrace Maria, he decided to quietly divorce her. 20 But as he was pondering this, one of God’s messengers appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Yosef, descendant of King David, don’t to be afraid to marry Maria because the baby in her has been conceived by the holy spirit. 21 [ref]In due course she will have a son and you’ll name him Yeshua, because he will save his people from their sins.”

22 Now all this happened in fulfilment of what the God had said through the prophet, 23 [ref]“Listen, the virgin will get pregnant and she will have a son, and they will call him Immanuel (in Hebrew) which means ‘God with us.’ ”

24 Then Yosef got up and did what God’s messenger had commanded him and he went ahead and married Maria 25 [ref]but he didn’t sleep with her until after she gave birth. And Yosef named the boy Yeshua.
