1 Chronicles 4:34

1 Chronicles 4:34 says, And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah, the son of Amaziah,  These next several verses just continue with genealogies, so there is little to say about them. Verse thirty-five adds, And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,  Verse thirty-six continues, And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,  Verse thirty-seven concludes, And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;  Verse thirty-eight adds, These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the house of their fathers increased greatly.  We are told that these men were princes in their families and that the house, or numbers of descendants, increased greatly.  What we need today is for those in the spiritual family of God to increase greatly.  Veres thirty-nine adds, And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.  This family went to Gedor seeking pasture for their flocks.  People today still relocate sometimes looking for a better or easier life, but more than anything, we should be willing to go where God calls us.  Verse forty continues, And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.  They found a good pasture where the land was quiet and peaceable.  We are told it is the land where Ham dwelled long ago.  We may or may not find a place of peace where life is easy, but if we do, we need to make sure that it is where God wants us to be.  Verse forty-one says, And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for their flocks.  This was during the reign of Hezekiah, and these princes destroyed the people there, where there had been peace and quiet, and took possession of all that they had, since it was good pastureland.  They saw what someone else had and killed them to take it for their own, without any command from God to do so that we are given.  People still too often see what others have and take or try to take it for their own, but this should not be the action of God's people.  We are to rely on God to supply us with what we need, but we too often want more.  Verse forty-two adds, And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.  The sons of Simeon took five hundred men to Mount Seir.  I don't think they went there for pastureland, but because the rulers of the area were there.  Verse forty-three continues, And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.  These five hundred killed the rest of the Amalekites living there and took possession of the land.  We can never justify taking what belongs to others just because it is desirable, and we want it.
