1 Chronicles 7; 1 Chronicles 8; 1 Chronicles 9; 1 Chronicles 10; 1 Chronicles 11; 1 Chronicles 12
The sons and families are named for Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, and Asher. The sons and chief men of Benjamin are named. The inhabitants of Jerusalem are listed. The responsibilities of the Levites and the areas where they are to serve are listed. The family of Saul is named. The Philistines defeat Israel. Saul dies for his transgressions. David is anointed king in Hebron. He takes Zion, the City of David. His valiant warriors are named and their deeds recounted. David’s mighty men are cataloged. The armies of the tribes of Israel join David at Hebron. Israel rejoices because of King David.
Often we take too narrow a view of life like the little twig on the end of furthest limb of a tree. It is vital with buds and blossoms full and fragrant. However, it would be foolish for that little twig to say it had no need of the limb. Cut from the tree it could not survive a single day but it would wither and die. Its beauty and fragrance gone. To be fragrant foliage we must remain attached to the source of our strength. We must study the words of the prophets in the scriptures.
