Verse Takeaways
1
A Record of Restoration
While this verse is part of a long list, commentators find significance in the meticulous record-keeping. Matthew Henry notes that this account of returning families, like the children of Bezai, serves a dual purpose. It demonstrates God's personal care in restoring His people, while also acting as a solemn reminder of how sin had previously lowered the nation into captivity. The list is a testament to both divine judgment and faithful restoration.
