What Does 1 Chronicles 27:3 Mean?
The chronicler notes Jashobeam's lineage: he came from the children of Perez, the son of Judah by Tamar. This roots the chief captain of the first month in the tribe from which David himself sprang, the tribe that carried the promise of kingship.
From Perez's line came not only soldiers but, in time, the King of kings; Perez stands in the genealogy that leads to Christ. The God who weaves a flawed and tangled family history into the line of the Messiah is the same God who places His people, with all their stories, into His unfolding purpose.
