Commentary on Matthew 1:10

Exegetical

Anton begat Josias. Following the wicked reigns of Manasses (2 Kings 21:1—18) and Anion (2 Kings 21:19—26), Josias (Josiah, 2 Kings 22:1 to 23:28), great-grandson of Ezekias, and last of the good kings of Judah, ascended the throne. Of the 20 afters in the ruling house of the southern kingdom over a period of 345 years, a minority served the Lord. In striking contrast, 20 kings representing ten dynasties reigned in the northern kingdom over a period of 209 years, but there was not one among them who remained faithful to the Lord.
