His reign marked a period of relative peace and prosperity. Asa's commitment to God is highlighted by his removal of pagan altars and his reliance on God during military conflicts. His son, Jehoshaphat, continued his legacy of faithfulness, as seen in <a href="/2_chronicles/17-3.htm">2 Chronicles 17:3-6</a>, where Jehoshaphat is praised for walking in the ways of his father Asa and seeking the God of his father.<p><b>Jehoshaphat the father of Joram</b><br>Jehoshaphat was a king who sought to strengthen Judah both spiritually and militarily. He is noted for his alliance with the northern kingdom of Israel, which was controversial due to Israel's idolatrous practices. This alliance is detailed in <a href="/1_kings/22.htm">1 Kings 22</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/18.htm">2 Chronicles 18</a>.

His son Joram, however, did not follow in his father's righteous footsteps, as he married Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, leading to increased idolatry in Judah (<a href="/2_kings/8-16.htm">2 Kings 8:16-18</a>).<p><b>Joram the father of Uzziah</b><br>Joram, also known as Jehoram, was a king whose reign was characterized by a departure from the faithfulness of his predecessors. His marriage to Athaliah brought the influence of Baal worship into Judah, as recorded in <a href="/2_kings/8-18.htm">2 Kings 8:18</a>. Despite his unfaithfulness, the Davidic line continued through him, fulfilling God's promise to David. Uzziah, also known as Azariah, was a later king of Judah who initially followed God and brought prosperity to the nation. His reign is detailed in <a href="/2_chronicles/26.htm">2 Chronicles 26</a>, where he is noted for his military successes and building projects. However, his pride led to his downfall, as he unlawfully entered the temple to burn incense, resulting in leprosy (<a href="/2_chronicles/26-16.htm">2 Chronicles 26:16-21</a>).

Between Joram and Uzziah the pedigree omits three names - Ahaziah immediately succeeded Joram (<a href="/2_kings/8-24.htm">2 Kings 8:24</a>), and was followed by his son Joash (<a href="/2_kings/12-1.htm">2 Kings 12:1</a>), and he by his son Amaziah (<a href="/2_kings/14-1.htm">2 Kings 14:1</a>). These were probably left out, that the number of generations might be reduced to <span class="accented">fourteen.</span> It is not likely that St. Matthew omitted them, but that they were absent from the form which he used. If we seek for a reason why these precise names are omitted, we may probably find it in the fact of their being descended from Jezebel; while the language of the second commandment would suggest that to the fourth generation the children' of that race would suffer for the sins of their parents. To the Jewish compiler of this genealogy no argument more forcible for the removal of these names could have been suggested. It will be seen that the word "begat" in these verses does not signify always the direct succession of son to father. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/matthew/1-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Asa</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἀσὰφ</span> <span class="translit">(Asaph)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_760.htm">Strong's 760: </a> </span><span class="str2">Of Hebrew origin; Asa, an Israelite.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">was the father of</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐγέννησεν</span> <span class="translit">(egennēsen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1080.htm">Strong's 1080: </a> </span><span class="str2">From a variation of genos; to procreate; figuratively, to regenerate.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jehoshaphat,</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἰωσαφάτ</span> <span class="translit">(Iōsaphat)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2498.htm">Strong's 2498: </a> </span><span class="str2">Of Hebrew origin; Josaphat, an Israelite.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jehoshaphat</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἰωσαφὰτ</span> <span class="translit">(Iōsaphat)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2498.htm">Strong's 2498: </a> </span><span class="str2">Of Hebrew origin; Josaphat, an Israelite.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the father of</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐγέννησεν</span> <span class="translit">(egennēsen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1080.htm">Strong's 1080: </a> </span><span class="str2">From a variation of genos; to procreate; figuratively, to regenerate.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Joram,</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἰωράμ</span> <span class="translit">(Iōram)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2496.htm">Strong's 2496: </a> </span><span class="str2">(Hebrew), Joram, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat and father of Uzziah.
