From Judah to David
3 The sons of aJudah were Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by the daughter of bShua, the Canaanitess. cEr, the firstborn of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; so He killed him.
4 And aTamar, his daughter-in-law, bbore him Perez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five.
5 The sons of aPerez were Hezron and Hamul.
6 The sons of Zerah were Zimri, aEthan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara—five of them in all.
7 The son of aCarmi was Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the baccursed thing.
8 The son of Ethan was Azariah.
9 Also the sons of Hezron who were born to him were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.
10 Ram abegot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, bleader of the children of Judah;
11 Nahshon begot Salma, and Salma begot Boaz;
12 Boaz begot Obed, and Obed begot Jesse;
13 aJesse begot Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third,
14 Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,
15 Ozem the sixth, and David the aseventh.
16 Now their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. aAnd the sons of Zeruiah were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—three.
17 Abigail bore Amasa; and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.
