1 Chronicles 2:10–17

The passage about Ram's descendants shows a direct line from Ram to Jesse and then lists Jesse's children.

1 Chronicles 2:3–4:23

The genealogies show all the people of Israel (1 Chronicles 2:1–2), but they focus more on David's ancestors from the tribe of Judah.

1 Chronicles 2:9–55

The descendants of Hezron are listed up to the time of David in several sections:

The direct line from Hezron to David (1 Chronicles 2:9–17; compare Ruth 4:18–22)
