Insight #1: David sends a delegation to show sympathy for a deceased Ammonite king. The envoy is treated harshly by the Ammonites, so David says, “It’s on!” He sends Joab, his commander out, and Joab puts a masterful battle strategy in place. Then he speaks these words, “Be strong, and let us fight bravely forContinue reading “1 Chronicles 19-21”

A good principle of Bible study is to correlate passages. Here’s what I mean: 1 Chronicles 16:7-22   === Psalm 105:1-15 1 Chronicles 16:23-33 === Psalm 96:1-13 1 Chronicles 16:34-36 === Psalm 106:1,47,48 David has quite the song of thanksgiving in chapter 16, as seen above. He also has quite the prayer in chapter 17. FromContinue reading “1 Chronicles 16-18”

But don’t be mistaken, there were plenty of women, because all of these men hadContinue reading “1 Chronicles 7-9”

Does it ever occur to you that this book wasn’t written in the 21st century, the 20th century, nor even the Middle Ages? It certainly wasn’t written in English. Just look at those names: Idbash, Hazzelelponi, Haahashtari, Jekuthiel. You may recognize one name in there, especially if you were a Christian in the early 2000s. TheContinue reading “1 Chronicles 4-6”

2.26.13 Bob Dylan wrote an autobiography called Chronicles. Right now, it looks much more appealing than these first 9 chapters. Names, names, and more names. One time, I counted them all up, or at least a good portion of them. I’ll find that stat and post it in the near future. But, for the sakeContinue reading “1 Chronicles 1-3”
