1 Chronicles 9:1 Summary
This verse tells us that all of Israel's family history was written down in a book, but the tribe of Judah was taken away to Babylon because they didn't follow God's rules, as also seen in Jeremiah 25:11. This happened because God's people didn't listen to Him, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:15. We can learn from their mistake by obeying God and following His commands, as encouraged in John 14:15. By doing so, we can trust in God's love and care for us, even when things seem tough, as promised in Romans 8:28.
