There had been a miracle in the ranks of the community, which was an occasion for this special worship time. The congregational leader had planned everything carefully. People rose early, offered sacrifices, and then joined together for a fellowship meal. Everyone took part. People got so caught up in the worship music they began to dance before God. It was a very special time Exodus 32:10 (ESV) “10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you.” Book of REVELATION 4: 1- 11 The scene switches from earth (Chapters 1-3) to heaven (Chapter 4 ) Revelation 4:1 (ESV) 4 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven!

  • 1 Chronicles 1
    The First Book Of The Chronicles Or Paralipomenon The Argument The Jews comprehend both these books in one, which the Grecians because of length, divide into two: and they are called Chronicles, because they note briefly the histories from Adam to the return from their captivity in Babylon. But these are not those books of Chronicles, which are so oft mentioned in the books of the Kings of Judah and Israel, which did at large set forth the story of both the kingdoms, and afterward perished in the captivity, but an abridgement of the same, and were gathered by Ezra, as the Jews write, after their return from Babylon. This first book containeth a brief rehearsal of the children of Adam unto Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve Patriarchs, chiefly of Judah, and the reign of David, because Christ came of him according to the flesh. And therefore it setteth forth more amply his acts both concerning civil government, and also the administration and care of things concerning religion, for the good success whereof he rejoiceth and giveth thanks to the Lord. 1 Chronicles 1......................................................................................................................... 3 1 Chronicles 2......................................................................................................................... 6 1 Chronicles 3....................................................................................................................... 10 1 Chronicles 4......................................................................................................................

These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. 10 The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one class.

  • I Chronicles
    THE ANCHOR BIBLE I CHRONICLES translated with an introduction and notes by JACOB M. MYERS A B DOUBLEDAY I CHRONICLES translated with an introduction and notes by JACOB M. MYERS This is Volume 12 of The Anchor Bible, a new translation in thirty-eight vol­ umes, each with an introduction and notes. I CHRONICLES is translated and edited by Jacob M. Myers, Professor of Old Testament at the Lutheran Theo­ logical Seminary in Gettysburg, Penn­ sylvania. A book closely related to three other books of the so-called "Chronicler's History"-11 CHRONICLES, EZRA, and NEHEMIAH-I CHRONICLES begins with the famous genealogical lists (from Adam to David), continues with an ac­ count of David's reign, in which the Chronicler emphasizes David's efforts to restore the religion of Israel, and concludes with the accession of Solomon to the throne of Judah. A crucial book for historians of the biblical period and for students of the Bible, I CHRONICLES has been both over­ and under-valued. In recent years, it has, certainly, suffered undue neglect. "Where it had to be dealt with," the present translator writes, "it was done grudgingly, often with misunderstand­ ing, misgiving, or downright hostility." (Continued on back flap) (Continued from front flap) "However," he continues, "archaeologi­ cal and historical studies have now rendered it more respectable and have shown it to be at times more accurate than some of its parallel sources." I CHRONICLES is to be neither accepted as a faithful narrative of the Davidic pe­ riod nor dismissed as a fanciful, imagina­ tive recreation of that history.

  • Unsolved Mysteries of the Bible Lesson 2 Bellevue Church of Christ March 13, 2019
    Unsolved Mysteries of the Bible Lesson 2 Bellevue Church of Christ March 13, 2019 Lesson 2 – What Time of Year was Jesus Born? Background The birth of Christ has become synonymous with Christmas on December 25. Whether you’re listening to carols or looking at nativity scene imagery, the idea that Christmas is the date of the birthday of Jesus is everywhere. But is this popular belief true to history? Why is this unsolved? The nativity accounts in the gospels of Matthew and Luke do not mention a date or time of year for the birth of Jesus and these details are also not included in any historical reference. What evidence do we have in scripture? Shepherds Were in the Fields Watching Their Flocks at the Time of Jesus’ Birth: Luke 2:7–9 (ESV) 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. One argument is that shepherds would not have been in the fields at night during December, and therefore Jesus must have been born in summer or early fall. This argument states that because Judea is cold and rainy in December, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night (See commentary from Adam Clarke in attached notes).

  • 1 Chronicles 24
    1 Chronicles 24 New King James Version (NKJV) 1 Chronicles 24 The Divisions of the Priests 1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests. 3 Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service. 4 There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar. 5 Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar. 6 And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites, one father’s house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar. 7 Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,[a] 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,[b] 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty- second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

  • When the Sacred Books Began to Be Organized, the Mosaic Books Were Followed by a History of Israel That Went from the Book of Joshua to the Book of Kings
    519 When the Sacred Books began to be organized, the Mosaic books were followed by a history of Israel that went from the Book of Joshua to the Book of Kings. Their authors shared the prophets’ views that were also those of Deuteronomy: God made a covenant with Israel, then gave Israel the land, provided that they would remain faithful to the covenant. In the course of the centuries, more and more infi delities occurred, which not only divided the kingdom into two; but is also the reason why the two kingdoms, Israel and then Judah, lost their land. Yet, after the disaster, there was still hope. God did not go back on his promise: the Promised Land and the temple of Jerusalem remain at the center of God’s plan, and the conversion of the people will usher in a new age. In the fi fth century B.C., this hope encouraged those who were returning from the Exile, as well as the last prophets. Then, with Zerubbabel, Nehemiah and Ezra, the Temple and the city were rebuilt and the rules for worship were reorganized. Time was passing by and the Jewish community was getting used to being just a province of the Persian Empire: it was satisfi ed with having imposed its own identity under the leadership of its priests. This is when the books of the royal period seem dated. People no longer expected anything from the kings. Priests had full authority… There was no interest in the history of the kingdom but, rather, in the roles that priests had in it.

TEXT Chapter 23:l. Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 2. And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3. And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. 4, Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges; 5. and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. 6. And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7. Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. 8. The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 9. The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ house of Ladan. 10. And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11. And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in reckoning. 12.

  • Introduction
    First Chronicles FIRST CHRONICLES Introduction: It is a challenge for twenty-first modern man to settle down for a study of the book of First Chronicles and struggle through the first nine chapters of genealogy. The question can present itself whether Paul overlooked this book when he wrote to Timothy: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”1 J. Sidlow Baxter, in Explore the Book, writes about those genealogies: “Nine chapters of genealogical tables! What waste of space! Nay, rather, what blindness to think so! No part of the Chronicles is more important. Such lines of descent were of sacred importance to all godly Jews, and rightly so, for they knew that their nation, besides being the repository of a special Divine revelation, was the possessor of wonderful Divine promises reaching on to unborn generations. The chronicler himself knew well enough that these genealogies reveal the selective process of Divine election right from Adam downwards, and that the covenant line of redemptive purpose was to culminate in the Messiah. Especially did the preservation of the trunk and the main branches of Israel’s family tree become vital after the Babylonian exile (when the Chronicles were written). Families had been uprooted by the thousands. Connections had been broken. Many records had been lost (see for instance Ezra ii. 59), and Judah’s archives must have become largely disintegrated even where not actually destroyed. Our chronicler’s list links the pre-Exile with the post-Exile period; for (as should be clearly grasped) chapter ix.
