“These are the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn, Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelite; the second, Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelite.” (v.1)
The third chapter of Chronicles presents a long list of names of the sons and descendants of David. It seemingly has nothing theological or practical to offer. But there is something special about it, and it's all contained in one word: “David.”
David, who becomes the second king of Israel right after Saul, was one of the most iconic and respected public figures in his time by the people of Israel. Not only that, all kings would come from his bloodline as well. How cool it must have been to be called, the “Son of David!”
Our heavenly Father, like David, is a king - who has made us His children through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. Therefore we, who have accepted Jesus, have our names written on a list saying: “These are the names of the sons of God!”
If your name is not on His list simply accept Him as your Father and become a son of God.
The Truth
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.”
