And Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs,
In the Jewish reckoning the verse belongs to Chronicles, counted as a single book in the third division. Its Hebrew title means words or acts of days, in the sense of minutes of events such as lists of names, its Greek title means things omitted or passed over, and its familiar name comes from the Latin word for chronicle. It stands in the first nine chapters, which contain lists and genealogies of the various tribes with occasional matters of special interest, and it is one of the Bible's detailed lists of names. Chronicles gives much more attention to the house of Judah and the priesthood than Kings does.
Its inclusion shows that even passages whose value or interest is not immediately clear are part of Scripture. Such passages can reward study. As part of the genealogical records, the verse shows that God is particular and that a faithful record of every soul is kept in heaven.
