Estha

Estha is no longer alive.

General Notes
- According to Julius Africanus, Estha married Mathan, a descendant of David through Solomon, and became the mother of Jacob; after Mathan's death she took for her second husband Mathat, a descendent of David through Nathan, and by him became the mother of Heli. Jacob and Heli were, therefore, uterine brothers. Heli married, but died without offspring; his widow, therefore, became the levirate wife of Jacob, and gave birth to Joseph, who was the carnal son of Jacob, but the legal son of Heli, thus combining in his person two lineages of David's descendants.
  
  Julius Africanus was wrong since Heli was also called Joachim, who becane the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus. St. Luke was simply relating the genealogy of Mary.
