1 Chronicles 8
-The genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin is noted in this
chapter of Scripture. There were close ties with this tribe to Judah. They were
in close proximity as the land was divided up. This is why we see in the text
that many of them co-mingled and lived in Jerusalem of Judah. In fact, in the
beginning, Benjamin laid claim to the city of Jerusalem as their land of
inheritance (Joshua 12:11-28). The line of Saul, the nation of Israel’s first king,
is mentioned briefly in this section as a son from the line of Benjamin (1
Chronicles 8:33). In the time of the division, the tribe of Benjamin was also
the only loyal tribe to the line of David and the Southern Kingdom commonly
known as Judah (1 Kings 12:21). Judah and Benjamin were close knit together
through thick and thin.
-*Application* It is interesting what draws us together
sometimes. Circumstances and Divine Providence often play more of a role than
we realize. Think about how God has coordinated you with certain entities and
people in your life. He will use these connections according to His Divine will
and purpose. Stay connected. Go with His Spirit’s flow.
Verse to Memorize: 1
