What Does 1 Chronicles 1:22 Mean?
Three more of Joktan's descendants are named: Ebal, Abimael, and Sheba, the last a name linked to the famed traders and spice-bearers of the south. The writer keeps the catalogue moving, gathering the peoples of Shem's far-flung branch.
The name Sheba would surface again in Israel's history, in the queen who came seeking Solomon's wisdom. Threads laid down here in a simple list reach forward into later chapters of God's dealings with the nations. The records of the past quietly prepare the way for what God will yet do.
