I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading. I had been using One Year Bible Online, but it was time for a change.

Today, I am reading and commenting on 1 Chronicles 2-4.

    This is another passage which I have trouble with reading. However, I can see why it is here. This list is clearly not a comprehensive list. Rather it is a list of relatively important persons. I need to remember to refer back to here when reading about personalities elsewhere in the Bible. For example, it is here that it most clearly lays out that Joab and his brothers were David’s nephews. We, also, learn here that Amasa, whom David appointed to replace Joab as commander of his army, and whom Joab subsequently killed, was David’s nephew and Joab’s cousin. Understanding that puts a whole new light on both David’s selection of Amasa and of Joab’s killing him.
