After this, there began to issue a race from Naasson, who was great among the sons of Judah; and from him began a kingdom and a priesthood, and the Jews became celebrated through him.
2Then Naasson begat Salmon, and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab.
3And thou must know that from Boaz and Ruth the Moabitess, began the kingdom whereby Lot, the son of Abraham's brother, obtained a share [in the generations] of the kingdom [of Judah].
4For God denied not seed to Lot, neither would He cut it short.
5For this Lot was righteous, and shared all Abraham's troubles with him; and received the angels of God in Sodom and Gomorrah.
6Therefore did God give to Lot's children fellowship in the kingdom, and that was [reckoned] for righteousness unto Lot the righteous.
7For this reason also were [Lot's children] mentioned among the genealogies of the kingdom of Abraham and of Lot; for Christ was born of their seed.
8Then, again, Obed, Ruth's son, was of Lot's seed, on his mother's [side]; and Obed begat Jesse; and Jesse begat David the king.
9And king David begat Solomon; all these are of Ruth the Moabitess.
10Again, Amnan, the daughter of [Dan], king of the Ammonites, was of Lot's seed; and Solomon the king took this daughter of Dan to wife, and had by her Rehoboam, who reigned after Solomon.
11Yet king Solomon took to himself many wives, 700 daughters of kings, 300 concubines, 1,000 in number.
12Yet although Solomon married these many wives, they did not bare him a single male child, except Rehoboam, of Amnan, the daughter of Dan, king of Ammon; who was of a blessed race.
13Thus, again, God would not allow the seed of Canaanites to mingle with that of strange peoples, which God had made strangers.
14And this shows that Christ came of the seed of Abraham the blessed father, and of Lot his brother's son.
15And all the families of the children of Israel in the land of Egypt were Levi, Amram, Moses, Joshua, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; all these were great chiefs over their peoples.
