What Does 1 Chronicles 27:10 Mean?
The seventh month belongs to Helez the Pelonite, here identified as one of the children of Ephraim. The chronicler begins to note tribal origins, showing that David's army drew its leaders from across the whole of Israel, not from Judah alone.
A united people is served by leaders from every tribe. David's kingdom was strong because its burdens and its honors were spread among all. So the people of God are knit together from many backgrounds into one body, each tribe and tongue bringing its own to the shared work.
