The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

The Hell of Death Church Usages Every Man In His Place 1 Chronicles 9:0 If we regard all the names which occur in this chapter under the image of a deep flowing river, all we can hope to do is to wander by its banks awhile, and pluck here and there a flower, or watch here and there some shining bubble as it rises, gleams, and dies.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

In this chapter the genealogies are completed, that is to say, they here reach the latest point in their history, and refer to the dwellers in Jerusalem after the return from captivity.

In the opening verses of the chapter we are told the reason for Judah being... read more
