BOOK of the generation of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
(2)Abraham begot Isaac; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob begot Judah
and his brothers; (3)and Judah begot Pharez and Zarah, of Tamar; and
Pharez begot Hezron; and Hezron begot Ram; (4)and Ram begot Amminadab;
and Amminadab begot Nahshon; and Nahshon begot Salmon; (5)and Salmon
begot Boaz, of Rahab; and Boaz begot Obed, of Ruth; and Obed begot
Jesse; (6)and Jesse begot David the king; and David begot Solomon, of
the wife of Uriah; (7)and Solomon begot Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begot
Abijah; and Abijah begot Asa; (8)and Asa begot Jehoshaphat; and
Jehoshaphat begot Joram; and Joram begot Uzziah; (9)and Uzziah begot

(17)All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David are
fourteen generations; and from David unto the removal to Babylon,
fourteen generations; and from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ,
fourteen generations.
