1 Chronicles 7:34

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records a genealogical list for the tribe of Benjamin, documenting the descendants of Shemer within a broader tribal register.

The words — שָׁמֶר (Shemer) identifies the patriarch whose lineage is enumerated, while בְּנֵי (bene) literally means "sons of," establishing the generational structure of the record.

The thread — This verse functions as a node in the 1 Chronicles 7 genealogical sequence, linking the sons of Japhlet (1 Chronicles 7:33) to the sons of Helem (1 Chronicles 7:35).

Why it lands — The text demands recognition of the preserved tribal lineage without requiring doctrinal interpretation, asking the reader to accept the documented descent as the complete statement.

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.
