What Does 1 Chronicles 6:25 Mean?

The record branches to name the sons of Elkanah -- Amasai and Ahimoth -- continuing the Kohathite family. This is part of the ancestry leading toward the prophet Samuel and the singer Heman.

The unfolding of these names is the slow approach to figures who would shape Israel's faith. God weaves His greater purposes through the ordinary births of a family. Nothing in this lineage is wasted; all of it serves His design.
