3Judah had three sons from Bathshua, a Canaanite woman. Their names were Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the Lord saw that the oldest son, Er, was a wicked man, so he killed him.
4Later Judah had twin sons from Tamar, his widowed daughter-in-law. Their names were Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons in all.
5The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
6The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda—five in all.
7The son of Carmi (a descendant of Zimri) was Achan, who brought disaster on Israel by taking plunder that had been set apart for the Lord.
8The son of Ethan was Azariah.
9The sons of Hezron were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb.
10Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, a leader of Judah.
11Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz.
12Boaz was the father of Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse.
13Jesse’s first son was Eliab, his second was Abinadab, his third was Shimea,
14his fourth was Nethanel, his fifth was Raddai,
15his sixth was Ozem, and his seventh was David.
