And Naasson begat Salmon.Verse 5And Salmon begate Booz of Rachab. And Booz begat Obed of Ruth. and Obed begat Iesse.Verse 6And Iesse begate Dauid the King.

And Iosaphat begate Ioram. And Ioram begate Hozias.Verse 9And Hozias begat Ioatham. And Ioatham begate Achaz. And Achaz begate Ezekias.Verse 10And Ezekias begate Manasses. And Manasses begate Amon. And Amon begate Iosias.Verse 11And Iosias begate Iakim. And Iakim begate Iechonias and his brethren about the time they were caried away to Babylon.Verse 12And after they were caried away into Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel.
