before any king reigned
on 1 Chronicles 1:43-54
The chapter's last movement repeats Gen 36:31's pointed note: Edom crowned kings before any king reigned over the children of Israel. To a post-exilic reader with no king at all, the sentence carries weight both ways, for the brother nation ran ahead early and its kings are now a closed list of the dead, while the line this book traces is still alive and still carrying a promise. The dukes of Edom close the chapter, and the sons of Israel open the next.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Adam was the common father of our flesh, Abraham the common father of the faithful. By the breach which the former made of the covenant of innocency, we were all made miserable; by the covenant of grace made with the latter, we all are, or may be, made happy. We all are, by nature, the seed of Adam, branches of that wild olive.
