1These are the sons that David had while he lived at Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam of Jezreel; second, Daniel by Abigail of Carmel;

2third, Absalom born of Maacah, daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; fourth, Adonijah born of Haggith;

3fifth, Shephatiah born of Abital; sixth, Ithream born of his wife Eglah.

4He had these six sons while he was in Hebron; he was king there for seven years and six months. He went on to be king in Jerusalem for another thirty-three years.

5These are the sons he had in Jerusalem: first Shammua, then Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon. Bathsheba daughter of Ammiel was the mother of these four.

6And then there were another nine sons: Ibhar, Elishua, Eliphelet,

7Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

8Elishama, Eliada, Eliphelet—

9David's sons, plus Tamar their sister. There were other sons by his concubines.

10In the next generation Solomon had Rehoboam, who had Abijah, who had Asa, who had Jehoshaphat,

11who had Jehoram, who had Ahaziah, who had Joash,

12who had Amaziah, who had Azariah, who had Jotham,

13who had Ahaz, who had Hezekiah, who had Manasseh,

17The sons of Jeconiah born while he was captive in Babylon: Shealtiel

18, Malkiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah.

19Pedaiah had Zerubbabel and Shimei; Zerubbabel had Meshullam and Hananiah. Shelomith was their sister.

20And then five more—Hashubah, Ohel, Berekiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-Hesed.

21Hananiah's sons were Pelatiah and Jeshaiah. There were also sons of Rephaiah, sons of Arnan, sons of Obadiah, and sons of Shecaniah.
