Al-Bidayah wa an-NihayahIbn Kathir

That same book also relates that Adam went in to his wife and she bore a boy. She named him Seth, saying, “He has granted me another child in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.” Seth later begot Enosh.

They add: Adam was one hundred and thirty years old when Seth was born, and he lived a further eight hundred years after that. Seth was one hundred and sixty-five years old when Enosh was born; he then lived another eight hundred and seven years, and he fathered sons and daughters besides Enosh.

When Enosh had lived ninety years he fathered Kenan; thereafter he lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and he had other sons and daughters.

When Kenan had lived seventy years he fathered Mahalalel; he then lived eight hundred and forty years more, and he had sons and daughters.

When Mahalalel had lived seventy-five years he fathered Jared; after that he lived eight hundred and thirty years, and he had sons and daughters.

When Jared had lived one hundred and sixty-two years he fathered Enoch; he then lived eight hundred additional years, and he had sons and daughters.

When Enoch had lived seventy-five years he fathered Methuselah; he lived three hundred more years after that, and he had sons and daughters.

When Methuselah had lived one hundred and eighty-seven years he fathered Lamech; he then lived seven hundred and eighty-two further years, and he had sons and daughters.

When Lamech had lived one hundred and eighty-two years he fathered Noah; he lived another five hundred and ninety-five years after that, and he had sons and daughters.

When Noah reached five hundred years of age, he fathered his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
