1 Chronicles 7:38-8:7
– The sons of Jether: Jephunneh,
Pispa, and Ara. The sons of Ulla: Arah, Hanniel, and Rizia. All of these were men of
Asher, heads of fathers' houses, approved, mighty warriors, chiefs of the
princes. Their number enrolled by genealogies, for service in war, was 26,000
men. Benjamin fathered Bela his firstborn, Ashbel the second, Aharah the third, Nohah the fourth, and
Rapha the fifth. And Bela had sons: Addar, Gera, Abihud, Abishua,Naaman, Ahoah, Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram. These are the sons of Ehud
(they were heads of fathers' houses of the inhabitants of Geba, and they were
carried into exile to Manahath): Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera, that is, Heglam, who fathered Uzza and Ahihud.

Kings 12:7,15 – And they said to
him, “If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak
good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants
forever.”… So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of affairs brought about by the
Lord that
he might fulfill his word, which the Lord spoke
by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Application:
- · Authority in the kingdom of God is for service, not for personal enhancement.
- · There is a relationship between divine sovereignty over all things and human responsibility for evil acts.
