And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,
1 Chronicles 4:36 belongs to the genealogies that form the opening division of Chronicles, which supply what was left out of Samuel and Kings. Its family record was one of the many needed after the exile to prove hereditary descent, so that land could be assigned to its hereditary owners and temple service taken up by those whose hereditary duty it was. It is simply a verse of personal names, one of over five hundred verses in twelve chapters of 1 Chronicles that are nearly all names, and one of more than fifteen hundred such name-list verses in Scripture.
It belongs to the carefully preserved genealogical record of Judah, whose lineage is traced because Christ came through that tribe. It is part of the opening list of names in Chronicles that records the origin and distribution of races and provides material of interest for the study of ethnology, showing that Scripture addresses scholars as well as readers seeking immediately accessible spiritual teaching. As part of a genealogy preserving the names of individuals, it illustrates that God keeps a faithful record of every soul in heaven.
It is not an expressed precious promise to God's people and cannot be counted among distinct promises, showing that a claim of thirty-six thousand distinct promises exceeds the verses available for promises.
