1 Chronicles 6:78 stands within 1 Chronicles 4-19, a section dealing largely with chronology and long tedious records of names. It belongs to twelve chapters in 1 Chronicles containing over five hundred verses that are nearly all names of persons. It is a record of names of persons and places given to the Levites, preserving the records of God's children and the integrity of the tribes, especially the carefully preserved genealogy of the tribe of Judah through whom Christ came. It is not a direct expressed precious promise to God's people but is one of more than fifteen hundred verses in the Bible made up of lists of names, which must be subtracted from the total verses of the Bible when counting distinct promises, leaving far fewer than thirty-six thousand verses that could be promises. It is appointed to be read on Monday June 1 with 1 Chronicles 6-7 and Psalm 149.
