🌊 1 Chronicles 26

1 Chronicles 26 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “For the divisions of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.” 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, “Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two.” 1 Chronicles 26 opens with these words: “For the divisions of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 26:5: “Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him.” Carry the word “ammiel” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 26:5: “Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 1 Chronicles 26? Then try this: Read “Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him.” 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.
