1 Chronicles 8

This list is in several forms. Interesting that the compiler did not list the 150 children and grandchildren in the last verse. Some of the names are unique, some not. One day perhaps, we will do more analysis. There seem also to be several overlaps with chapters 7 and 9. You might find it interesting to follow the music. I am reminded of a piece I sang in Calgary by Toni Petti called the Place Names of Alberta. This music has some interest. Why for instance is there an extended recitative on the rest note of verse 9, bar 46. Perhaps this wife named New was a restful time with peaceful children (imagine). Verses 14-27 show some variety in the setting of this simple list. There is no mid verse rest note until verse 28 and it is uniquely approached.
