1 Chronicles 27:32
“Also Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons.”
What does 1 Chronicles 27:32 mean?
David surrounded himself with wise people, and his uncle Jonathan was one of them. As a counselor and scribe who understood complex matters, Jonathan helped guide the king's decisions during what must have been an enormous responsibility. Having trusted family members and experienced advisors nearby wasn't a luxury but a necessity when running a kingdom. This reminds us that seeking wisdom from people we trust, and building a circle of thoughtful people around us, is something worth doing in our own lives too, whatever our circumstances.
