And Ramoth with her suburbs, and Anem with her suburbs:
And Ramoth with her suburbs, and Anem with her suburbs is a simple record of places with their suburbs and an example of the Bible's long lists of names and places. It stands in the long record of 1 Chronicles 4-19 that preserves the records of God's children and the integrity of the tribes. It belongs to twelve chapters in 1 Chronicles containing over five hundred verses that are nearly all names of persons rather than expressed precious promises to God's people. The value of such details may not be immediately clear to every reader, but they do not make the Bible less inspired, and its varied contents serve readers with different interests and abilities.
This kind of chronology is often considered dry and uninteresting, yet it is illuminated by beautiful gems. Like verses containing threatenings of wrath against sin, denunciations of evil, genealogies, and lists of names, cities, nations, and kings, it is therefore not a direct promise relating to the present state or to the future, and with only thirty-one thousand five hundred and thirteen verses in the whole Bible, such name verses reduce the possible promises to about thirty thousand and show there cannot be thirty-six thousand distinct promises. Its place in those records illustrates that God is particular and that a faithful record of every soul is kept in heaven. The genealogies of Levi, like those of Judah, were preserved unbroken until Christ's first advent, and the Aaronic priesthood continued until it was superseded by Christ's priesthood.
