1 Chronicles 1 KJV: The Genealogy of the World and the Chosen Line
1 Chronicles 1 articulates the vast scope of human history through a compressed genealogy that moves from Adam to the origins of the world's nations. It establishes a clear 'Messianic thread' by narrowing the focus from the whole of humanity to the specific family of Abraham and Isaac.
v1-4: From Adam to Noah
v5-23: The Table of Nations
v24-27: The Focused Line of Shem to Abraham
v28-54: The Descendants of Ishmael, Esau, and Edom
Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine: she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan; Sheba, and Dedan.
Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
And when Baalhanan was dead, Hadad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pai; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
Duke Magdiel, duke Iram. These are the dukes of Edom.
