What Does the Bible Say About Genealogies?

“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”

“Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;”

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

“And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;”

“And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;”

“And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;”

“And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;”

“And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;”

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

“And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;”

“And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: Josias: some read, Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias”

“And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;”

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

“And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;”

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

“And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.”

“So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.”
