The Descendants of David
(2 Samuel 3:1–5)

1Truly, David had these sons, who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelite; the second Daniel, from Abigail the Carmelite; 2the third Absalom, the son of Maacah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; the fourth Adonijah, the son of Haggith; 3the fifth Shephatiah, of Abital; the sixth Ithream, from his wife Eglah. 4Therefore, six were born to him in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years and six months. Then he reigned for thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 5Now in Jerusalem, sons were born to him: Shammua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, these four from Bathsheba, the daughter of Ammiel; 6also Ibhar and Elishama, 7and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 8indeed also Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet, nine. 9All these were sons of David, aside from the sons of the concubines. And they had a sister, Tamar.

The Descendants of Solomon

10Now the son of Solomon was Rehoboam, from whom Abijah conceived a son, Asa. And from him, there was born Jehoshaphat, 11the father of Jehoram. And Jehoram conceived Ahaziah, from whom there was born Jehoash. 12And his son, Amaziah, conceived Azariah. Then Jotham, the son of Azariah, 13conceived Ahaz, the father of Hezekiah, from whom was born Manasseh. 14Then too, Manasseh conceived Amon, the father of Josiah. 15Now the sons of Josiah were these: the firstborn Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum. 16From Jehoiakim was born Jeconiah and Zedekiah.
