What Does 1 Chronicles 2:49 Mean?
The chronicler completes Maachah's children, several of whom founded towns, and then names Caleb's daughter Achsa. Achsa is remembered elsewhere as a daughter who boldly asked her father for springs of water as a blessing on her land. Her name here recalls a woman of faith-filled initiative within Caleb's house.
That Achsa is singled out among many sons honors a daughter who sought and received blessing with confidence. She knew the value of asking, and her father granted her request. There is encouragement here in approaching the one who can give. So God invites His children to ask boldly for the good gifts He delights to give. Like Achsa, we are welcomed to come and seek the springs of living blessing from our Father's hand.
