From Judah to David

³The sons of ^cJudah were Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by the daughter of ^dShua, the Canaanitess. ^eEr, the firstborn of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; so He killed him. ⁴And ^fTamar, his daughter-in-law, ^gbore him Perez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five.

⁵The sons of ^hPerez were Hezron and Hamul. ⁶The sons of Zerah were ²Zimri, ⁱEthan, Heman, Calcol, and ³Dara—five of them in all.

⁷The son of ^jCarmi was ⁴Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the ^kaccursed ⁵thing.

⁸The son of Ethan was Azariah.

⁹Also the sons of Hezron who were born to him were Jerahmeel, ⁶Ram, and ⁷Chelubai. ¹⁰Ram ^lbegot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, ^mleader of the children of Judah; ¹¹Nahshon begot ⁸Salma, and Salma begot Boaz; ¹²Boaz begot Obed, and Obed begot Jesse; ¹³ⁿJesse begot Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, ⁹Shimea the third, ¹⁴Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, ¹⁵Ozem the sixth, and David the ^oseventh.

¹⁶Now their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. ^pAnd the sons of Zeruiah were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—three. ¹⁷Abigail bore Amasa; and the father of Amasa was ¹Jether the Ishmaelite.
