What Does 1 Chronicles 8:15 Mean?

Three more names are added to the growing register of Benjamin's families. The chronicler withholds nothing, determined that the whole tribe be accounted for.

Zebadiah means 'the LORD has given,' a quiet acknowledgment that every child is a gift. Folded into a list of names is a confession that life comes from God's hand. Even where no story is told, the names still preach His giving.
