Matthew 1:7

Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa, ¹ 

Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa,

Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah. Abijah was the father of Asaph.

Solomon had Rehoboam, Rehoboam had Abijah, Abijah had Asa,

And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;

and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,

Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa.

Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa, ¹ 

¹ tc The reading ᾿Ασάφ (Asaf), a variant spelling on ᾿Ασά (Asa), is found in the earliest and most widespread witnesses (Ì^1vid א B C [D^luc] Ë^1,13 700 pc it co). Although Asaph was a psalmist and Asa was a king, it is doubtful that the author mistook one for the other since other ancient documents have variant spellings on the king’s name (such as “Asab,” “Asanos,” and “Asaph”). Thus the spelling ᾿Ασάφ that is almost surely found in the original of Matt 1:7-8 has been translated as “Asa” in keeping with the more common spelling of the king’s name.
