And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.

So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon, prince of the children of Judah;

And Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse,

And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

And Nahshon begat Salma, and Salma begat Boaz,

And Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse,
