1 Chronicles - Chapter 2

In this chapter the genealogy of God's chosen people continues, with the descendants of Israel.  These are the 12 sons, from whom the tribes of Israel take their name.  The first of the son's mentioned is Judah, with his descendants Perez Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Hashon and Salmon; these were part of the line leading to King David, and through him to Jesus.  Salmon was the father of Boaz, the grandfather of Obed and the great-grandfather of Jesse, who was David's father.
