What Does 1 Chronicles 27:25 Mean?
The register turns to the stewards of David's wealth: Azmaveth over the central treasures and Jehonathan over the storehouses spread through fields, cities, villages, and strongholds. The kingdom's resources are carefully entrusted to faithful keepers.
Every good thing is held in stewardship, never owned outright. These men did not possess the king's treasures; they were trusted to guard them well. So all we are given, wealth and strength and time, belongs to the King of all, and we are appointed to keep it faithfully and answer for it gladly.
