Key Scriptures
"Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan." (Genesis 10:26-29, ESV)
"David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations he subdued—from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek. Abishai son of Zeruiah also defeated eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He put garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David." (1 Chronicles 18:11-13, NIV)
Application
Reflect on how God uses people in various roles throughout history to accomplish His purposes in both genealogy and governance.
