Good morning, everyone!
Today I read 1 Chronicles 7-8.
And today's reading details the descendants of Benjamin.
Something I found interesting, though I'm sure I talked about it before when we first learned about King Saul, is that he was from the tribe of Benjamin, the youngest son of Israel (Jacob).
King David was from the tribe of Judah.
It's always interesting for me to learn what tribes specific people are from, and to connect them back through generations. As long as I know who they are.
These genealogical lists aren't always interesting because I don't know all the people listed. However, at that time, someone reading this list might be able to trace their descendants back to Adam. How cool would that be?
Currently, I'm trying to trace my own genealogy. It's fascinating, but also frustrating, because some records have been lost, or not even recorded in the first place.
It would be very handy to have a genealogical record like the ones written in the Bible.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read 1 Chronicles 9-11.
