This chapter starts by listing the 6 sons born to David in Hebron in the 7 and a half years he was king of Judah. It then lists his next 13 sons born to him in Jerusalem when he was also king of Israel for a further 33 years. He also had sons with his concubines but these are not listed.
Then the genealogy continues with a record of Solomon's sons who assumed David's throne as his father was David and his mother was Bathsheba. Then the last part of the chapter traces the royal line of Solomon after the exile in Babylon.
