Today I read 1 Chronicles 8, which lists more of the descendants of the family of Benjamin. Today I considered that within a family we can have people covering different needed areas including leaders and warriors.

King Saul’s Line and Mighty Men

Benjamin’s descendants included Saul, Saul’s descendants, and mighty men (1Chronicles 8:1-40). Saul, who we later see become king, had a son named Jonathan. Among Benjamin’s descendants were the sons of Ulam, which were mighty men and archers. We see that within family groups there can be both leaders and warriors.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

Groups need both leaders and warriors. Leaders can direct us and warriors can fight battles for victory. Who within your group is a leader and who is a warrior? Are some people both a leader and a warrior?
