👑 1 Chronicles 2
1 Chronicles 2 opens with these words: “These are the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 2:10: “Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the children of Judah;” Carry the word “became” from that verse into the rest of the day.
1 Chronicles 2 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “These are the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “The sons of Onam were Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur.” 1 Chronicles 2 opens with these words: “These are the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 2:10: “Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the children of Judah;” Carry the word “became” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 2:10: “Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the children of Judah;” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in 1 Chronicles 2? Then try this: Read “Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the children of…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the children of Judah;”
