Bible Person
Meaning: father of praise · Male · 1 cross reference
Abiud is a descendant in the post-exilic Davidic line as presented in Matthew's genealogy, not to be confused with the different name forms in Chronicles and Luke. He belongs to the royal memory leading toward the Gospel's presentation of Jesus. First appears in Matt 1:13.1
AI summary: Abiud matters because his single cross reference places him in the deliberately shaped genealogy through which Matthew frames Jesus as heir to David's line. Even with little narrative detail, the entry contributes to the continuity between post-exilic descent and messianic expectation. Taken together, the material presents Abiud as a genealogical link in the Gospel's royal lineage.1
