...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 (KJV) reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Some Israelites in the tribe of Judah:

The sons of Judah; Pharez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal. And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath; and Jahath begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites. And these were of the father of Etam; Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash: and the name of their sister was Hazelelponi: And Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, the father of Bethlehem. And Ashur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah. And Naarah bare him Ahuzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. And the sons of Helah were, Zereth, and Jezoar, and Ethnan. And Coz begat Anub, and Zobehah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.-1 Chronicles 4:1-8***Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were the other children born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and maidservant  Bilhah. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and maidservant ZilpahJoseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and his 2nd wife RachelJacob and his older fraternal twin brother Esau (Edom) were the only children born to Isaac and Rebekah. Isaac was born 10 100-year-old Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and 90-year-old Sarah (Sarai).  Ishmael was born to 86-year-old Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah were born to Abraham and Keturah, Abraham's 2nd wife. Er, Onan and Shelah were born to Judah and his Canaanite wife. Pharez and Zarah (Perez and Zerah) were born to Judah and Tamar, the widow of Er and Onan. Pharez's descendant Boaz became the husband of Ruth, a Moabite widow previously married to an Israelite. Obed was born to Boaz and Ruth, and Jesse was born to Obed. David was the 8th son born to Jesse. Over a decade after David was born, Samuel the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, anointed David to reign as king over the Israelites in the Promised Land, according to the command of the Lord God. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born.
