    7And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

    8And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

    9And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

    10And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

    11And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
