What Does 1 Chronicles 7:6 Mean?
The chronicler moves to Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, listing the three sons whose lines he will trace. Benjamin held a place of special tenderness in Israel's story and would give the nation its first king.
From this small beginning came the tribe of Saul and, in time, the apostle Paul. The Lord delights to build great things from modest origins, and the threefold listing here is the quiet root of a history that would touch the whole people of God and reach into the gospel itself.
