Bible Question: What is the writer of 1 Chronicles, chapters 11 and 12 wanting the reader to understand? |
Bible Answer: Hi mmorelan, Welcome to the forum. I think 1 Chronicles 12:8 sums up the chapters pretty well. 1) The writer wanted us to know that David was God's chosen king. David was to be the shepherd and prince over His people. He had an annointing according to the word of the Lord. 2) The Lord was with him and the mighty men who supported him, and the Lord saved them by a great victory. 3) Even though the men were great, they were great because they were helped by God and indeed were like the army of God according to the word of the Lord. From the heart, Ray |
