1 Chronicles 2:37
“and Zabad became the father of Ephlal, and Ephlal became the father of Obed,”
What does 1 Chronicles 2:37 mean?
This brief genealogy is part of a long family line traced through Judah, showing how God's people were connected across generations. The names Zabad, Ephlal, and Obed might seem like just a list, but they represent real people whose lives mattered to their families and community. These genealogies remind us that God sees and values each person throughout history, not just the famous kings or prophets we hear about most often. Even the ordinary people, whose names appear only in these records, had a place in God's story.
