Commentary on Matthew 1:8

The royal genealogy continues through the divided kingdom period, showing God's preservation of the messianic line despite national apostasy. These kings often failed miserably, yet God's purposes were not thwarted. This demonstrates the distinction between God's decreed will (which always comes to pass) and His preceptive will (which humans violate).
