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.
