Who is Uzziah's father?
This article explores the apparent contradiction between Matthew 1:8 and 2 Chronicles 26:1 concerning Uzziah's father. Although Matthew names Joram as Uzziah's father, 2 Chronicles identifies him as Amaziah. The term 'son' can refer to a distant descendant, and Matthew's genealogies are shortened for theological reasons.
