Quick answer
The succession continued through Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Manasseh. It lists three more kings of David's line.
Overview
These kings span a striking range, from the faithless Ahaz, to the godly reformer Hezekiah, to Manasseh, who was wicked yet later repented (2 Chronicles 33). The Chronicler records them all in the unbroken Davidic line. Their contrasts highlight that the covenant rested on God's faithfulness, not the kings', preparing for the truly righteous King, Jesus.
