2. Just crazy to think about all the people who have lived and died before us and time keeps moving forward, and here we are , just amazing to think about all the people who’ve gone before us.and now how we fit into that puzzle.

3. It was interesting to find these are listing of heads of clans in Judah as opposed to a straight genealogy of begats. And I have always seen Simeon’s territory vaguely represent amongst the land of Judah and then eventually consumed by it….I also find it interesting that Jabez is noted for hi faith in God and the prayer he prayed for God’s hand to be upon him. It makes you wonder how many others were as dedicated as him.

4. So many people, but I love that God wanted to take a break from the genealogies in this chapter to tell us about the faithful prayer of Jabez and that this effective prayer was answered. He didn’t stop to share of his trade, wealth, or military success but rather his faithful prayer reminding us of God’s priorities.

5. I was thinking again of sisters and wives being mentioned in the genealogies. And not just the males, but here, the day after Mother’s Day, I realize that no man can have offspring without a woman!

6. Steve researched the daughter of Pharoah in vs 17. She marries Mered (which means rebellion) and she changes her name to Bithiah which means “daughter of YAHWEH”.

   “The sons of Ezrah were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. And Mered’s wife bore Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. (His wife Jehudijah bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Sochoh, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.) And these were the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered took.”
