Gospel of Matthew Chapter 1 Vs. 4

 The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

Matthew 1:4 “And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;”

Nahshon (Revised Version), begat Salmon. This line of descent, from Nahshon to David, is also given by Luke (Luke 3:31, 32), and is derived from (Ruth 4:18-22).

Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab … Jesse was the father of David the king. This is not an exhaustive genealogy. Several additional generations must have elapsed between Rahab (in Joshua’s time) and David (verse 6), nearly 4 centuries later. Matthew’s genealogy (like most of the biblical ones), sometimes skips over several generations between well-known characters in order to abbreviate the listing.
