1 Chronicles 6:76 Summary
This verse, 1 Chronicles 6:76, tells us that the tribe of Naphtali gave some cities, including Kedesh in Galilee, to the Levites, who were the spiritual leaders of Israel. This shows us that God cares for those who are responsible for teaching and guiding His people, as we see in Numbers 18:21-24. Just like the Levites, we can trust that God will provide for us and give us what we need to serve Him, as promised in Philippians 4:19. By looking at this verse, we can learn to trust God's provision and care for us, just like the Levites did.
