Exegesis
Subsequent clauses replicate this structure with Rhoboam {Ῥοβοὰμ | Rhoboàm} and Abia {Ἀβιὰ | Abià} as subjects, maintaining narrative continuity and emphasizing the genealogical sequence through the repeated use of egennēsen. The absence of additional modifiers focuses attention on lineage, fulfilling Matthew’s intent to present a direct royal genealogy.
In context — Matthew 1:7
And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asaph .
