1 Chronicles 12:11 Summary
This verse, 1 Chronicles 12:11, lists two of the warriors who joined King David, Attai and Eliel, as the sixth and seventh in a list of brave fighters. Just like these men, we each have a special place in God's plan, and He has given us unique gifts and abilities to use for His glory (as seen in 1 Corinthians 12:12-31).
