"and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;" — Matthew 1:10 (ASV)

And Ezekias begot Manasses
Or Manasseh, (2 Kings 20:21) . Him Hezekiah begot of Hephzibah, (2 Kings 21:1) . He was very remarkable both for his sins, and for his humiliation on account of them.

And Manasses begot Amon ,
of Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah, (2 Kings 21:19) . He was a very wicked prince.

And Amon begot Josias ,
or Josiah of Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath, (2 Kings 22:1) . He was a very pious king, and was prophesied of by name some hundreds of years before he was born, (1 Kings 13:2) .
