The genealogy focuses on the twelve sons of Israel and then on Judah, the royal tribe, tracing the descent through Perez and Hezron toward Jesse and David. Names that seem dry carry the weight of promise, for this is the line of the coming king. The Chronicler lingers here because Judah’s line is the line of the throne.
