I Chronicles 10

So far, the author, Ezra, has given us the general genealogies from Adam to David to the exile. Then the narrow genealogies of 10 of the 12 tribes. Then a detailed genealogy of Saul.

Now we begin with the death of Saul leading to the anointing of David.

Ezra began the Chronicles with a genealogy of the nation of Israel from Adam to David and David to captivity. Then he narrowed his focus to the genealogies of ten of the twelve tribes (double Manasseh and Ephraim make it add up to 12; but Dan and Zebulun are missing from Ezra's list.) Now he's going back a bit to narrow even further on the tribe of Benjamin as we will slow down and examine the stories of Saul and David next.

In this chapter, Ezra is giving select genealogies of the twelve tribes. I have covered the first eight in previous posts. I'm also cross-referencing what Jacob blessed or predicted for each of them before he passed. he completes this section of the book with the final tribes.

He has two entries for Manasseh, but only has twelve entries...one tribe must be missing?

Judah (1)

Now the book begins the genealogies of the twelve tribes.

First is Judah. I'm reading along, trying to stay interested, and then I run into the prayer from Jabez. I'm sure everyone's seen it. It's in cards and on plaques. Because it seems to offer some promise of enrichment and prosperity. But I don't remember reading it in context before-although I guess I should have...
