7. And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
8. And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
9. And Uzziah begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
10. And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
11. And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12. And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
13. And Zerubbabel begat Abihud; and Abihud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14. And Azor begat Zadok; and Zadok begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15. And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16. And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17. 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.
18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.
