<p>1:6&nbsp;<em>Jesse begot David the king</em>- Literally &ldquo;<em>the&nbsp;</em>David&nbsp;<em>the</em>&nbsp;king&rdquo;. The others aren&rsquo;t mentioned as being kings. The implication may be that Jesus was the promised descendant of David and the promises of eternal Kingship made to David&rsquo;s descendant are therefore applicable to Jesus.</p>
<p><em>And David begot Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah-&nbsp;</em>Literally &ldquo;she of Uriah&rdquo;. &ldquo;She that that been the wife of&rdquo; is added by some translators in explanation, but isn&rsquo;t in the original. Whilst God &lsquo;forgets&rsquo; sin in the sense that He no longer holds it against us, the memory of those sins isn&rsquo;t obliterated, and His word is full of such allusions to sin which although He has forgiven it and symbolically &ldquo;blotted it out&rdquo;, it still remains within Divine history. We too can forgive but &lsquo;forgetting&rsquo; isn&rsquo;t always possible, and is no sign that we have failed to forgive.</p>
