1 Chronicles 7:30-40 English Standard Version Descendants of Asher 30 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. 31 The sons of Beriah: Heber, and Malchiel, who fathered Birzaith. 32 Heber fathered Japhlet, Shomer, Hotham, and their sister Shua. 33 The sons of Japhlet: Pasach, Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the sons of Japhlet. 34 The sons of Shemer his brother: Rohgah, Jehubbah, and Aram. 35 The sons of Helem his brother: Zophah, Imna, Shelesh, and Amal. 36 The sons of Zophah: Suah, Harnepher, Shual, Beri, Imrah. 37 Bezer, Hod, Shamma, Shilshah, Ithran, and Beera. 38 The sons of Jether: Jephunneh, Pispa, and Ara. 39 The sons of Ulla: Arah, Hanniel, and Rizia. 40 All of these were men of Asher, heads of fathers' houses, approved, mighty warriors, chiefs of the princes. Their number enrolled by genealogies, for service in war, was 26,000 men. This passage ends the genealogies of the northern ten tribes that went into exile in Assyria, and many of whom never returned to their ancestral land. We end this portion of Scripture with the tribe of Asher. The record of the sons of Asher--it's clans and family heads. There were 26,000 men of war counted in the census from the tribe of Asher/
Next time, we'll look at the genealogy of Saul, the first king of Israel. It is the beginning and end of his story (for the most part) as he sinned greatly and was rejected by the LORD, so the LORD did not establish a covenant with his family. That covenant would belong to his successor, David. Comments are closed.
