Proto Bůh Izraele podnítil ducha asyrského krále Pula (totiž Tiglat-pilesara, krále Asýrie), aby vystěhoval pokolení Ruben, Gád a polovinu kmene Manasesova do vyhnanství. Odvlekl je do Chalachu, Chaboru, Hary a k řece Gozanu, kde zůstávají až dodnes. Synové Leviho: Geršon, Kehat a Merari. Synové Kehatovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron a Uziel. Děti Amramovy: Áron, Mojžíš a Miriam. Synové Áronovi: Nádab, Abihu, Eleazar a Itamar. Eleazar zplodil Pinchase, Pinchas zplodil Abišuu, Abišua zplodil Bukiho, Buki zplodil Uziho, Uzi zplodil Zerachiáše, Zerachiáš zplodil Merajota, Merajot zplodil Amariáše, Amariáš zplodil Achituba, Achitub zplodil Sádoka, Sádok zplodil Achimaace, Achimaac zplodil Azariáše, Azariáš zplodil Jochanana, Jochanan zplodil Azariáše (který byl knězem, když Šalomoun postavil v Jeruzalémě chrám), Azariáš zplodil Amariáše, Amariáš zplodil Achituba, Achitub zplodil Sádoka, Sádok zplodil Šaluma, Šalum zplodil Chilkiáše, Chilkiáš zplodil Azariáše, Azariáš zplodil Serajáše, Serajáš zplodil Jocadaka (a ten odešel do zajetí, když Hospodin nechal Nabukadnezara vystěhovat Judu a Jeruzalém).
What Does This Mean?
This verse explains that God influenced the kings of Assyria to capture and relocate the tribes of Reubenites, Gadites, and half of Manasseh to different places far from their homeland. The relocation happened to punish them for their disobedience.
Explained for Children
Imagine God was like a parent who wanted to teach his children a lesson. He told the kings of Assyria to take some of the tribes far away, just like a parent might send a child to a timeout to think about their actions.
Historical Background
1 Chronicles was written by a priest or Levite after the Babylonian exile around 350 BC. The author aimed to remind the Jewish people of their past and God's faithfulness. This verse reflects the Assyrian captivity of the northern tribes.
Living It Out Today
This verse reminds us that God can use any situation to discipline us. For example, if you're struggling in a new job, it might be a chance for you to learn patience and humility.
