[ Illustration: In today's chapter, warriors are featured in four of the tribes (Issachar, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Asher ); and rulers in the other two (Naphtali and Manasseh). Accordingly, I've chosen paintings of warriors and rulers to represent these tribes. Where a ruler was used to represent a particular tribe, I've chosen a warrior/ruler, since the rulers of the tribes were also military leaders. In the case of Ephraim (represented by Napoleon in painting 5) I wished to draw attention to the fact that Ephraim was a prominent tribe militarily; and, when the kingdom of Israel split by revolt into the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel, it was Ephraim, led by Jeroboam, which rose to the kingship and continued throughout its history to produce kings for the Northern 10 tribes (who retained the name of Israel). ]

SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]

     Explanation: 1 Chronicles 7 provides brief sketches of the descendants of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh (on the western side of the Jordan River), Ephraim, and Asher. Traditional Patriarchal Timeline. Judges. Judges Period Chronology. Kings of Judah and Israel #1. Kings of Judah and Israel #2].
     The opening section of the chapter lists some of the descendants of Issachar and gives the number that were ready for war (1-5).
     Some of the Benjamites and their warriors are listed (6-12).
     The first generation of Naphtali's sons are listed (13).
     The descendants of Manasseh on the west side of Jordan are given (14-19).
     The descendants of Ephraim are listed with special reference to his sons who were killed by enemy raiders. Some of the towns in which his descendants lived are also listed (20-29).
     Some of Asher's descendants are listed with special reference to the warriors among them (30-40).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
