⭐ 1 Chronicles 7

1 Chronicles 7 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Of the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four.” 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, “Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, Ezer, and Elead, whom the men of Gath who were born in the land killed, because they came down to take away their livestock.” 1 Chronicles 7 opens with these words: “Of the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four.” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 7:33: “The sons of Japhlet: Pasach, Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the children of Japhlet.” Carry the word “sons” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 7:33: “The sons of Japhlet: Pasach, Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the children of Japhlet.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 1 Chronicles 7? Then try this: Read “The sons of Japhlet: Pasach, Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the children of Japhlet.” 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.
