What Does 1 Chronicles 6:20 Mean?
Now the Chronicler follows each branch downward through the generations. Starting again with Gershom's son Libni, the line descends through Jahath and Zimmah, son after son.
The repeated phrase 'his son' marks the unbroken passing of a calling from father to child. The worship of God was sustained not by chance but by faithful inheritance. Such continuity is itself a kind of worship, a long obedience handed down.
