The women in Jesus’ genealogy represent specific stories. Matthew’s account of this genealogy is like a family history for the Hebrews.

The story of David and Bathsheba is one of the darkest and saddest stories in the Bible. King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, she conceived, and David murdered her husband Uriah to cover up his sin.

Satan was at work before Bethlehem to stop the promised Seed of Genesis 3:15! From the moment God promised the “seed of the woman” would one day bruise the head of the serpent, Satan had been trying to stop the “Seed” before He could even be born.

In the Davidic Covenant, God had promised King David that one day, one of his “seed” would establish his kingdom and his throne forever.

Twelve generations after King David, King Jeconiah was so wicked that God cursed him, promising none of his sons would ever sit on David’s throne. Because God cursed Jeconiah’s line, (Jesus’ legal lineage)

David and Bathsheba were both direct ancestors of both Mary and Joseph! Joseph through David’s son Solomon and Mary through David’s son Nathan. Because Jesus was virgin born, He was not David’s seed through His earthly father, but rather His mother!

Why doesn’t Matthew mention Bathsheba by name in the genealogy of Jesus?

In Christ, God no longer sees our sins and will one day give us a brand-new name! Bathsheba’s name isn’t written because God has given her a new name.

God has a new name for you if you will repent of your sin and turn to Him. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how David and Bathsheba’s story gives us the hope of a new name.
