The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in 1 Chronicles 7:2,
"During the reign of David, the descendants of Tola listed as fighting men in their genealogy numbered 22,600."
In this chapter we have several counts of "fighting men", military troops from clans or families. Here we have the number of troops from the sons of Tola. We read in verse 5 that the fighting men from the tribe of Issachar numbered 87,000. The descendants of the sons of Bela included 22,034 fighting men. You get the idea."During the reign of David, the descendants of Tola listed as fighting men in their genealogy numbered 22,600."
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share what moved you about him from your Bible reading today. I'd love to hear from you!
If you have someone you would like to receive these ruminations, send me their email address. I'm happy to add them to the list. If you are receiving this and would like to be removed from the list, just respond and let me know.
