Folks, here's the deal: 1 Chronicles 4 tells the story of the descendants of Judah. Literally, from Judah's son Perez, through to Hezron and his sons Carmi, Hur and Shobal. We learn of the sons of Shobal, including Kiriath Jearim, and how they were mighty men of valor. C'mon, man! I'm not joking here. My father used to say, "you don't mess with the sons of Shobal."

See here, Jack, it also tells us of the sons of Caleb (the son of Hur). His sons included Hebron, who had four sons, and the sons of Hur, who had five. It also mentions Jabez, who was more honorable than his brothers. Or uh, you know, at least so it says in the Bible. What was that?

Anyway, it's also said that Jabez called on the God of Israel, and his prayer was answered. Not gonna happen if you don't ask, folks. I tell you what, that's a lesson we should all take to heart.

And lastly, it talks about the sons of Simeon, who were mighty men of valor. Excuse me, but they were brave enough to fight against the enemies of Judah. So, yeah, that's 1 Chronicles 4. Literally.
