1 Chronicles 3

This genealogy focuses entirely on the royal line of King David. It meticulously lists all of David’s sons born in Hebron and Jerusalem, clearly establishing the legal succession. It then follows the line of kings that succeeded David in Judah, from Solomon down through the time of the Babylonian exile, ensuring the continuity of the Davidic dynasty is recorded. The chapter concludes by listing the descendants of the royal family after the exile, maintaining the record of the legitimate heirs to the throne.
