Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah.

15
Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob.

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
20
But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
