1 Chronicles 14:6

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records a list of David’s sons born in Jerusalem, continuing the genealogical roll call from the preceding and following verses. This moment functions as a structural pause in the broader narrative of David’s royal house and military campaigns.

The words — The text supplies וְ/נֹ֥גַהּ (ve./No.gah), meaning "and Nogah," and וְ/נֶ֖פֶג (ve./Ne.feg), meaning "and Nepheg." These are proper names inserted into a sequential list without descriptive gloss.

The thread — This verse belongs to the genealogical catalog of David’s offspring that spans 1 Chronicles 14:4–7. The pattern of listing royal children runs parallel to the genealogical records in 1 Chronicles 3:1–8 and 2 Samuel 5:13–16.

Why it lands — The text demands recognition that biblical history records ordinary family lines alongside divine promises. A reader must accept that covenant fulfillment operates through documented, unadorned human generations.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
