If one is a descendant of Solomon, then one is also a descendant of his father David and his grandfather Jesse. And then one is a descendant of Isaac and Abraham the father of the Jews, by default.

It is not as if many bloodlines improbably merged. There is only one bloodline with different ways of naming it.

How many descendants did Solomon leave? His son Rehoboam had 70 or so children.

The improbable, impossible, miraculous thing is Mary the virgin conceiving of the Holy Spirit.

Then Joseph believed the angel.

Anything else is small details, prophesied but not improbable.

Ahhh, but you miss the point: He couldn’t be descended from just ANY Solomon, but the one whose lineage goes back to Abraham.

In the years before The Savior’s birth many Jewish boys were born and named Jesus - That was a popular name then. Virtually every Tom, Dick, and Harry was named Jesus AND a Jew! But only one would be born of an Abraham > Isaac > Jacob > Judah > Jesse > David > Solomon lineage AND be named Jesus.
