Matthew 1:10

Matthew 1:10 VAmw,j( VAmw,j {B}

The textual evidence for the reading “Amos,” an error for “Amon,” the name of the king of Judah, is nearly the same as that which reads VAsa,f in verses Matthew 1:7 and Matthew 1:8.

In 1 Chronicles 3:14 most manuscripts present the correct VAmw,n (or its near equivalent VAmmw,n), but VAmw,j is read by A B^c (B* and one minuscule read VAmnw,n. In the narrative account concerning King Amon in 2 Kings 21:18-19, 2 Kings 21:23-25; 2 Chronicles 33:20-25 several Greek witnesses erroneously read VAmw,j.

Despite Lagrange’s preference for VAmw,n (see his argument quoted above on verses 7-8), the Committee was impressed by the weight of the external evidence that attests VAmw,j.
