1 Chronicles 7

It is difficult after a break of three days to get back to work and begin with a chapter full of names. I have not been very creative. There are several unique names here and several that are repeated in some other lists.

KJV has Gaza in verse 28 for Ayyah (JB), Aiah (Mechon-Mamre). I don't see any reason for the KJV rendering.

This reads with many variations. I have tried to reflect the variations in the English - like the plural or singular for forces. Also as usual I keep Hebrew word order for the sake of the music. (Yes - the recitations are set to music. See here. Print it and do the English underlay for fun. If you would like the XML for a music program they are all - all 929 chapters - available here. Just copy the XML file and open it with a music program.) The music for this chapter is surprisingly elaborate with ornaments as if each child's name was being celebrated.
