Joseph was a descendant of this line by blood, and therefore was legally entitled to it, but, due to the curse of this line, could never be king. What's really important here is that Jesus was the legal, but not biological, son of Joseph, and the biological son of Mary, who was the descendant of David, like Joseph, who had been promised that the Messiah would come to the world by his seed. By Mary, Jesus was a descendant of David, and by his legal father, Joseph, he gained the legal right of inheritance to the kingship of Israel and to be king of the Jews.
I agree with all that,but joseph was descended from a non-cursed Jeconiah,not the Jeconiah that was cursed by God.
