1 Chronicles 3:14 stands within the carefully preserved genealogy of Judah in the first chapters of Chronicles, the tribe through which Christ came. That genealogical record consists almost entirely of names, in long lists of hard names. As a verse of names rather than words of promise, it illustrates that many Bible verses are not expressed promises.
That line of Judah is one of only two lines kept unbroken until the first coming of the Lord, because Jesus was of the tribe of Judah and of the family of David according to prophecy. As part of those exact earthly genealogies, it shows that God is particular. A faithful record of each soul is kept in the books of heaven, as genealogies were kept on earth.
