And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
