1 Chronicles 7:34 Meaning and Explanation

The chronicler continues through another house of Asher, naming the four sons of Shamer. The record moves household by household, preserving the breadth of the tribe's many families.

Each name set down is a witness that the Lord's promise to multiply Jacob's seed was richly fulfilled. From a single father came a tribe of many branches. The very abundance of these names testifies to the faithfulness of God, who keeps His covenant and crowns it with increase beyond what any one generation could foresee.
