A bit of research should clear this up. Often times, geneologies would skip a generation and not mention who the father was, but the grandfather. Sometimes the problem lies in mistaking similar names (Jehoiakim Jehoiachin). this is of that sort, and would not have caused any Jew reading the text any problem whatever since they were exposed to the geneologies from infancy and knew how to trace their tribal heritage. Summaries of this sort are common to the Hebrew scriptures.
