Quick answer
The succession continued through Joram, Ahaziah, and Joash. It lists the next kings in David's royal line.
Overview
These kings reigned during turbulent times, with Joram and Ahaziah noted in Scripture for unfaithfulness, while Joash began well under the priest Jehoiada (2 Kings 11-12). The Chronicler preserves the unbroken succession despite their varied faithfulness. The line endures by God's covenant commitment rather than the kings' own merit, pointing to the faithful King to come.
