What Does 1 Chronicles 27:11 Mean?

The eighth month is assigned to Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites, a clan descended from Judah through Zerah. Sibbecai is remembered elsewhere as the warrior who struck down a giant in battle against the Philistines.

Those who have done valiant deeds in the past are entrusted with steady duty in the present. Faithfulness is not only a single famous moment but a long obedience that follows. The God who used Sibbecai in the heat of battle also kept him faithful in the ordinary rotation of service.
