⭐ 1 Chronicles 23
1 Chronicles 23 opens with these words: “Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 23:14: “But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.” Carry the word “moses” from that verse into the rest of the day.
1 Chronicles 23 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.” 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 Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.” 1 Chronicles 23 opens with these words: “Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 23:14: “But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.” Carry the word “moses” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 23:14: “But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in 1 Chronicles 23? Then try this: Read “But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.” 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.
“But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.”
