1 Chronicles 2: It Goes Through Judah

The genealogies in the Bible are not the same as the “endless genealogies” that are used to create questions and strife in 1 Timothy 1:4. Those in the Bible serve very important purposes. One of those purposes is to show us that God fulfilled His promise to provide redemption for us by going through Judah, one of the 12 sons of Jacob (Hebrews 7:14). This chapter establishes that link. It also mentions the names of people whose stories have already been told. Meditate briefly on them as you read.
