[1] The great king David fathered 6 sons during his 7 1/2 years reigning in Hebron. Ahinoam the Jezreelitess gave birth to his first son, Amnon. Abigail the Carmelitess birthed his second son, Daniel. [2] Maacah, the daughter of Talmai (king of Geshur) bore his third son, Absalom. His fourth son, Adonijah, was born to Haggith. [3] Abital bore his fifth son, Shephatiah. Ithream was his sixth son, and was born to his wife, Eglah. [4] These were the 6 sons born to him in Hebron during his 7 1/2-year reign there. David then ruled from Jerusalem for 33 years. [5] There, Bath-shua (the daughter of Ammiel) gave him 4 sons: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon; [6] and 9 other sons also were born there: Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet. [9] These were David's sons, in addition to their sister, Tamar, and his concubines' children. [10] David's son and successor, Solomon, had 15 generations of descendants: Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, [11] Joram, Ahaziah, Joash, [12] Amaziah, Azariah, Jotham, [13] Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, [14] Amon, and Josiah. [15] Josiah's sons were, in order from the firstborn to the last: Johanan, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah, and Shallum. [16] The sons of Jehoiakim were Jeconiah and Zedekiah. [17] The sons of Jeconiah (who was taken prisoner by Nebuchadnezzar) were Shealtiel, [18] Malchiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah. [19] The sons of Pedaiah were Zerubbabel and Shimei. Zerubbabel fathered Meshullam and Hananiah, and their sister, Shelomith. [20] He had five other children, Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-hesed. [21] Hananiah fathered Pelatiah and Jeshaiah, the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, and the sons of Shecaniah. [22] Shecaniah had six descendants: his son Shemaiah, and his grandsons Hattush, Igal, Bariah, Neariah, and Shaphat. [23] Neariah fathered three sons: Elioenai, Hizkiah, and Azrikam. [24] Elioenai fathered seven sons: Hodaviah, Eliashib, Pelaiah, Akkub, Johanan, Delaiah, and Anani.
