I Chronicles 2:38

Misinterpretations often dismiss such genealogical verses as irrelevant trivia or exhaustive historical records without theological depth, leading to overlooking their role in affirming God's providential preservation of the Judahite line; others impose modern numerology or speculative timelines onto the names, distorting the text's purpose of establishing authentic tribal identity and covenant faithfulness rather than providing precise chronology or hidden codes.

This verse forms part of the extensive genealogy tracing the descendants of Judah through the line of Hezron and Sheshan, underscoring God's faithfulness in preserving the royal and messianic lineage leading to King David and ultimately the promised Savior, emphasizing the importance of heritage and covenant continuity in Israel's history.
