“And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;”
King James Version (KJV)
1:5 Obed begat Jesse - The providence of God was peculiarly shown in this, that Salmon, Boaz, and Obed, must each of them have been near a hundred years old, at the birth of his son here recorded.
1:6 David the king - Particularly mentioned under this character, because his throne is given to the Messiah.
1:8 Jehoram begat Uzziah - Jehoahaz, Joash, and Amaziah coming between. So that he begat him mediately, as Christ is mediately the son of David and of Abraham. So the progeny of Hezekiah, after many generations, are called the sons that should issue from him, which he should beget, #Isaiah 39:7|.
