35. David 1005BC - 935BC (Jesse's youngest son)
34. Jesse born possibly around 1125 BC
33. Obed
Obed's birth to a young mother, Ruth — and definitely an aged father, Boaz, possibly around 1245 BC — was much celebrated.
32. Boaz
Boaz was the son of Rahab, born possibly around 1405 BC, and married Ruth as an aged man a bit like Abraham who had married Keturah as an aged man and then had 6 more children to her. Genesis 25:1-2
31. Salmon
Salmon married Rahab, thought to have been the harlot (a young harlot) who had rescued the spies sent by Joshua to Jericho in 1465 BC
30. Nahshon
29. Amminadab

The early Codex Sinaiticus script used in the NLT and the ESV and some other modern translations includes an additional name Admin between Aram (which it renames as Arni) and Amminadab. If it's not a typo, if Admin was a real character, he still makes Jesus the 77th generation but this list needs to start with Adam (instead of God) as generation 1. That's fine, Jesus as we know is both son of man and son of God.

28. Aram
27. Hezron
Hezron was born around 1721 BC and went into Egypt (Jacob's great-grandson).

Cainan is not mentioned in Genesis, although he must have been part of the public records. According to the Book of Jubilees, he revived the condemned arts of astrology and was presumably cast out. His son Salah was raised by his grandfather Arphaxad who was only 35 at the time of Salah's birth. See Ruth 4:17, where Obed is called the son of Naomi though he was really her grandson, her sons having previously died.
