What Does 1 Chronicles 15:9 Mean?
The sons of Hebron are listed under their chief Eliel, with eighty kinsmen, fourscore in the older reckoning. The procession of named leaders continues, each bringing his company to the service of the ark.
Smaller numbers are recorded as faithfully as larger ones. The God of Israel does not measure devotion by size; the eighty of Hebron stand as honorably as any greater company, for each answered the summons to honor the Lord.
