1 Chronicles 5:7
And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
1 Chronicles 5:7 belongs to the genealogical record that preserves the families and leaders of the tribes of Israel, here registering the descendants of Reuben by their families and generations. When that genealogy of their generations was reckoned, the chief leading men among their brethren and families were Jeiel and Zechariah. Its place in that record shows that God's people kept careful records of their families, and that the careful preservation of these tribal records is significant. The preservation is significant because the genealogy of the tribe of Judah leads to Christ.
