'Genealogies' in the Bible
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel: and Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their disobedience.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith --
but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
