Philip Schaff's Popular Commentary (4 vols)

Matthew 1:13

Matthew 1:13. Abiud. This name is not mentioned among the sons of Zerubbabel in 1 Chronicles 3:19-20. He is supposed by some to be identical with Hananiah (1 Chronicles 3:19); by others with Hodaiah (1 Chronicles 3:24), one of his descendants, who is further supposed to be the Judah of Luke 3:26; all this, however, is conjecture. The downward course reaches its lowest point in the humble carpenter of Nazareth. The promised Saviour was to be ‘a root out of a dry ground' (Isaiah 53:2).
