CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Chronicles 9

First Chronicles 9 moves from ancient genealogies to the community living in Jerusalem after the exile. It names Israelites, priests, Levites, gatekeepers, and other servants connected with temple life. The chapter then returns once more to Saul’s genealogy, creating a bridge from restored Jerusalem back to the historical narrative of Saul’s death.
