COMMENTARY
Our study tonight is from 1chronicles chapter 9 vs 1-44
Which I will just be giving a brief summary.. We can read up for more understanding.
Our study since the beginning of the book of chronicles is based on descendants and genealogy
Which we will continue today.
Today we will be looking at Genealogy of the returned exiles and Saul's genealogy repeated.
Under the Genealogy of the returned exiles we have the people of Judah that were taken captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.
We have the benjamites
The Levites
We should be familiar with these names in our previous chapters.
The priests and the gatekeepers
From verse 1-21
( Account were given on the names which we can read up)
I will quickly want us to look at 22-34
That talked about the gatekeepers
And what their functions was
Altogether those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212.
And they were assigned to their position of trust by David and Samuel the seer
.
The gatekeepers were the ones in charge of guarding the gates of the House of the Lord. (The Yoruba calls them ' awon olusho')
Some were in charge of the articles used in the temple service and they had charge of the key for opening it each morning
Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all other articles of sanctuary.
These are just some of the functions of gatekeepers that were taken to exiles.
( just like our Ushers in church)
Now to genealogy of Saul
Verse 35-44.
Ner was the father of Kish
Kish the father of Saul
Saul the father of Jonathan, Malki- Shua, Abinadab and Esh- Baal
Jonathan father of Merib- baal
We all should be familiar with the name Jonathan.
Merib- Baal was the father of Micah
Micah father of Pithon, Melech, Ahaz
Ahaz father of Judah, Azel
Azel then had Six sons.
We have come to the end of the study of today
Tomorrow we should be able to look at Saul's life in details.
