Commentary on Matthew 1:7

The progression through Solomon rather than Nathan (Luke's genealogy) establishes Jesus' legal right to David's throne through the royal line. This fulfills the covenant promise that David's throne would be established forever (2 Samuel 7:12-16). God's sovereign election is evident in choosing Solomon, the son of Bathsheba, demonstrating grace triumphing over sin.
