Day 12- 1 Chronicles 4-29, 2 Chronicles 1-12

Continuing on with reading my entire Bible and recording it in 30 episodes. Starting with 1 Chronicles 4, it was a Bunch of genealogies, they're useful and God put them there for a reason and you learn a lot when you study the meaning of the names in order, which usually tell a story in and of themselves. And then it shifts slightly in telling about the names of the villages and where each family in each tribe lived. By chapter 10, Chronicles circles back to its version of some of my favorite characters in the Bible. Chronicles seems to focus on less-family-drama versions of their stories and doesn't address much of the betrayal, lying, murder, throne-grabbing, etc. Here we spend a lot of time learning about David's band of mighty soldiers who fought and died with him and for him. There were so many beautiful verses of praise to God's character in the passages today: "O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known His doings among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on and talk of all His wondrous works and devoutly praise them! Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!" "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and lovingkindness endures forever!" David passes the torch to Solomon while he is still alive, and charges him to build God's house during his reign. "And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father[have personal knowledge of Him, be acquainted with, and understand Him; appreciate, heed, and cherish Him.] and serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts and minds and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts. If you will seek Him[inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him as your first and vital necessity] you will find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever!" "If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land." It took twenty years to build God's house and Solomon's house. But grand they were. Walls and doors laid in pure gold. Solomon's beginning reign was blessed and full of wisdom and riches and fame. People from allover the land came to see him and bring him gifts and hear him speak and astound them. But later in life his rebellion against God probably in some way encouraged his son not to follow after the Lord either after Solomon died.
