Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records tribal genealogies for the community, dating the northern tribes' enrollment to the concurrent reigns of Jotham in Judah and Jeroboam in Israel.
The words — הִתְיַחְשׂוּ (hit.yach.Su) means "they had themselves enrolled," and בִּימֵי (bi./Mei) translates literally to "in the days of."
The thread — This chronological marker corresponds to the divided monarchy timeline documented in 2 Kings 14:16, 14:28, and 15:32.
Why it lands — It requires the reader to verify tribal continuity by cross-referencing royal chronologies rather than accepting lineage claims without historical anchoring.
