What Does 1 Chronicles 6:56 Mean?
While the city of Hebron went to the priests, its surrounding fields and villages were given to Caleb, the faithful spy who had trusted God to give Israel the land. This honored an earlier promise made to him for his faith.
Caleb received his reward, and the priests received their city, each portion fitting God's purposes. The Lord keeps His promises to those who follow Him fully, as Caleb did. Faithfulness is never forgotten; in due time God grants the inheritance He has pledged.
