The chronicler turns to Hammoleketh, a woman of Manasseh's house, and names her three children. Among them is Abiezer, whose clan would later produce Gideon, the judge who delivered Israel from Midian.
A single verse holds the seed of a great deliverance still to come. The Lord was already preparing, generations in advance, the household from which a savior of His people would rise. So even a sister's brief mention shines with promise, reminding us that God is at work long before His purposes come to light.
