What Does 1 Chronicles 2:24 Mean?
The chronicler records that after Hezron died, his wife Abiah bore him a son, Ashur, who founded Tekoa. Tekoa was a town in Judah, later the home of the prophet Amos. Even after Hezron's death, his line continued and planted itself in another place that would matter in Israel's story.
Here is a child born into loss, after a father's death, yet still woven into God's plan. Tekoa, founded by this son, would one day send forth a shepherd-prophet to call the nation back to justice. God brings purpose out of bereavement and raises significant things from quiet beginnings. No season of grief is the end of His work; He is always sowing seeds whose harvest only later generations will see.
