Excellent exhaustive research! Very helpful for me. Know that more than 99% of readers do not write comments. Keep up the good work, Christ will repay you one day, You have connected and proven that Ancient Israelites were of Matrilineal lineage. I will refer to it in some of my artcles. Thank you.

By saying the wife of or the mother of…….. It did not tell me the name of the wife or the mother. Are the wives’ names not written anyway in the Bible?

Asandul,
The problem is that many of the names of the wives and mothers were not mentioned. The genealogy says that “Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel” (Matthew 1:12), but it does not tells us the name of Jechoniah’s wife who would be the name of Salathiel’s mother. This is the reason I wrote “the wife of” because I was trying to write the genealogy from the perspective of the mothers.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
