Berean Study Bible

Zerubbabel
Zerubbabel is a significant figure in Jewish history, known for his leadership in the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. His name means "seed of Babylon," reflecting his birth during the exile. Zerubbabel's role as a leader and governor under the Persian king Darius highlights God's providence in using foreign powers to fulfill His promises to Israel. His inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

was the father of
This phrase, repeated throughout the genealogy, emphasizes the importance of lineage and heritage in Jewish culture. It signifies not only biological descent but also the transmission of faith and covenant promises from one generation to the next. In the context of Matthew's Gospel, it underscores the fulfillment of God's promises through the line of David, leading to the birth of Jesus Christ.

Abihud
Abihud is a relatively obscure figure, with little known about him outside of genealogical records. His name means "my father is majesty," which can be seen as a reflection of the divine majesty and sovereignty that guides the lineage leading to Christ. The inclusion of lesser-known figures like Abihud in the genealogy highlights the idea that God's plan often involves ordinary people playing roles in His extraordinary purposes.

the father of Eliakim
Eliakim, whose name means "God will establish," serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in establishing His covenant and promises. The name itself is a testament to the hope and assurance that God is actively involved in the unfolding of history, ensuring that His purposes are accomplished. Eliakim's place in the genealogy points to the divine orchestration of events leading to the coming of the Messiah.

and Eliakim the father of Azor
Azor, like Abihud, is another figure about whom little is known. His name means "helper," which can be seen as a symbolic representation of God's help and guidance throughout the generations. The presence of such figures in the genealogy serves to remind us that every person, regardless of their prominence or obscurity, has a role in God's grand narrative. It also reflects the theme of divine assistance and providence that runs throughout the biblical story.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 13. - And Zorobabel ( Zerubbabel, Revised Version) begat Abiad. Here the two lines of pedigree in St. Matthew and St. Luke seem tc separate, and not to converge again till we come to Matthan (or Matthat), the grandfather of Joseph, which name is common to both. The Bishop of Bath and Wells has shown some reason for supposing that Rhesa, mentioned in St. Luke as Zerubbabel's son, is merely a title signifying "a chief," and also for identifying Hananiah, who is called a son of Zerubbabel (1 Chronicles 3:19), with Joanna, who follows Rhesa in St. Luke (Luke 3:27), and there being some relation between the Juda of St. Luke and the Abiud (i.e. father of Juda) given as Zerubbabel's son in St. Matthew. Except in these few particulars, the two lines show no connexion of names, and it seems likely that the family of David had fallen into low estate for several generations before the birth of Christ.
