Matthew, in agreement with 1 chronicles 3:17, says that salathiel was the son of jechonias, whereas luke says that he was the son of neri And, also, her name appears in the genealogy of jesus Whereas jechonias was a king, neri was a commoner, from a long line of commoners, so there is no question of levirate marriage.

Then jeconias marries neri's widow, & the firstborn son was salathiel, the father of zorobabel the king who returned from captivity & rebuilt the temple
Then matt says zorobable begat abiud, & follows his descendants down to jacob, father to joseph.
Others have asked the significance of '14 generations' in matthew's account, so it is relevant to a fuller understanding of the development of the gospels to note that luke uses a different genealogy Acts 27:24a and said, 'do not be afraid, paul You must stand trial before caesar.' the title "caesar" Was given to a number of roman rulers
To which caesar does the text refer? "a shoot will come up from the stump of jesse From his roots a branch will bear fruit."
