Amos; name of two figures in Jesus's genealogy
A name appearing in Luke's genealogy of Jesus, distinct from the prophet Amos. Matthew 1:10 identifies Amon (variant spelling) as a Judean king, son of Manasseh. Luke 3:25 lists Amos in a different position, possibly a different individual. The name's Hebrew forms (אָמוֹן, עָמוֹס) show variant spellings across Biblical books. Josephus preserves multiple Greek forms of these names, reflecting textual complexity.

1. sense 1 — Designates genealogical figures bearing this name—most notably Amon king of Judah, son of the wicked Manasseh and father of the reformer Josiah (2 Kings 21). Matthew's genealogy includes him among Jesus's royal ancestors despite his brief, evil reign. Luke's Amos may be a distinct ancestor. The multilingual consistency (Spanish 'Amṓs,' French 'Amos,' German 'Amos') preserves the name across contexts, though historical identification requires careful attention to generational placement. 3×
