1 Chronicles 1:48
"And when Samlah was dead, Shaul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead."

Commentary

Matthew Henry Concise

📖

Summary

The genealogy is from hence confined to the posterity of Abraham. Let us take occasion from reading these lists of names, to think of the multitudes that have gone through

this world, have done their parts in it, and then quitted it.

Reflection

Short is our passage through time into eternity. May we be distinguished as the Lord's people.

The genealogy is from hence confined to the posterity of Abraham. Let us take occasion from reading these lists of names, to think of the multitudes that have gone through

this world, have done their parts in it, and then quitted it. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes. Ecclesiastes 1:4Numbers 32:14, and will do so while the earth remains. Short is our passage through time into eternity. May we be distinguished as the Lord's people.
