Matthew1:7

7 And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa.

This exactly agrees with the History of the Old Testament, 1 Kin. 11.43. (where he is called Rehoboam) he Reigned but seventeen years and dyed, 1 Kin. 14.21. and v. 31. Abijam his Son Reigned in his stead, he is here called Abia. But we shall observe frequent alteration of Names, both as to the final Terminations, and where the quiescent Letters in Heb. fall into the Name. Abia or Abijam Reigned but three years, and was succeeded by Asa his Son, 1 Kin. 15.2.8. Asa Reigned forty one years, 2 Chron. 16.13. So as these three Princes Reigned sixty years.

Marginal references: 1 Chro. 3.10.
