What Does 1 Chronicles 23:17 Mean?
Eliezer, Moses' second son, had only one son, Rehabiah; yet from that single line the sons of Rehabiah were very many. What began small grew into a great company.
Here is a quiet picture of God's power to multiply. A family that might have ended in one became numerous in time. The Lord delights to bring abundance from little, to make the few into many for His purposes. Where human strength looks thin, God can fill the future, so that no one should despise small beginnings in His hands.
