In the following table, we see confirmed that Jesus was destined for greatness, as there were 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 generations from David to Josiah and 14 generations from Jeconiah to Jesus (Matthew 1:17). The sets of 14 generations are shown in the middle column.
The genealogy can also be confirmed by comparing side-by-side against the king list from the Books of Kings. Here, KJV spellings are used, but minor differences in spelling are not important. --- --

It becomes clear that although Matthew's genealogy generally follows the king list until the end of the monarchy, it makes two adjustments in order to achieve the three groups of 14 ancestors. First, three kings are omitted. Second, David is in one group as number 14 and in the next group as number 1, but not so Josias.
