Ug si Sallum ang anak nga lalake ni Core, anak nga lalake ni Abiasath, anak nga lalake ni Cora, ug ang iyang mga kaigsoonan, sa balay sa iyang amahan, ang mga Coranhon maoy sinaligan sa bulohaton sa pag-alagad, mga magbalantay sa bakanan diha sa tabernaculo: ug ang ilang mga amahan gikan sa campo ni Jehova, mga magbalantay sa pultahan.
What Does This Mean?
This verse describes Shallum and his family, the Korahites, who were responsible for guarding the tabernacle and its gates. Their ancestors also had important roles in serving God.
Explained for Children
Imagine Shallum and his family as the friendly guards at a big, special tent. Just like how your parents keep your house safe, Shallum and his family kept this important tent safe. Their grandpas did the same job a long time ago!
Historical Background
1 Chronicles was written by a scribe or historian, likely after the Babylonian exile, around 538-458 BCE. It was written for the returning Israelites to remind them of their past and their roles in the temple service.
Living It Out Today
Think of a time when you had to be responsible for something important, like looking after a pet or a younger sibling. Just like Shallum and his family guarding the tabernacle, we too can take on responsibilities to help others and serve a greater purpose.
