How does 1 Chronicles 8:36 connect to God's promises to Israel?

1 Chronicles 8:36 shows God preserving Jonathan’s line through Ahaz, Jehoaddah, Alemeth, Azmaveth, Zimri, and Moza. By recording each name, Scripture demonstrates that:

• God multiplies Abraham’s offspring exactly as promised (Genesis 15:5).

• Each tribe’s title to its land remains secure (Numbers 26:52-56; Joshua 18:20-28).

• Benjamin, nearly wiped out in Judges 20–21, still has a living remnant, fulfilling Jeremiah 31:35-37.

• The Lord does not abandon Israel; Paul—a Benjamite—later cites his tribe as proof that “God has not rejected His people” (Romans 11:1; Philippians 3:5).

Thus the verse is a small but concrete witness that every covenant promise to Israel stands intact.
