1 Chronicles 6:14 (KJV)

What does 1 Chronicles 6:14 mean?

1 Chronicles 6:14 records part of a family line among Israel’s priests. It places Seraiah between Azariah and Jehozadak, tracing the line from one generation to the next.

The KJV word “begat” means “was the father of.” After the earlier names in verse 13, this verse carries the family record forward to Jehozadak, whose removal from the land is mentioned in verse 15.
