Default Genealogy Comparison

I created and uploaded the genealogies from Matthew (both Peshitta and UBS) and from Chronicles (MT, LXX, and Peshitta) for viewing. There are some notes you must be aware of first, though.

First of all, I stuck with 1st Chronicles 1-3 with few exceptions. Those are in the Hebrew where Haggai and Ezra-Nehemiah list Salathiel as the father of Zorobabel, but Chronicles lists Padaiah. The second is the Peshitta's listing of Obed, which in Chronicles 2.12 has `wbr which is probably a mistake made here where I got my information from. However, elsewhere in the Peshitta (Ruth in this case) you can get the correct reading. Also note that there is a discrepancy between Septuagintal versions as to whether the name is Iouda or Ioudas and Ram or Aram.

Finally, here's the chart.

Edited to Add: Does anyone know if the Old Syriac differs from the Peshitta here or if the DSS have anything to offer on this? If so, I'll update it to add those two and maybe change the Aramaic font to Syriac script instead of square Aramaic script, but since I can't write the Syriac script I just used the square writing. Plus, it's more intelligible (to me at least) that way.
