There might be an argument to be made either way about Levi since he started by overthrowing the king who had usurped the throne from his father but he is said to have done “that which was right in the sight of the Lord” afterward. Whichever way that debate falls, there is no debate that after Levi came Corom, Kish, and Lib who were all righteous. After Lib came Hearthom who we don’t know anything about except that he was overthrown such that he and the five generations after him lived in captivity.
So we had three generations of righteous kind with righteous people bookended by kind who might have been righteous but did not have peace throughout their lives.
