CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Chronicles 4

First Chronicles 4 continues the families of Judah and then turns to Simeon. The chapter includes the brief account of Jabez, whose prayer for blessing is granted, and later describes Simeonite expansion into new pasturelands. The larger point is not the isolated fame of one prayer but the preservation of tribal families, settlements, and historical continuity.
