1 Chronicles 6:72 Summary
[This verse tells us that the tribe of Issachar gave the cities of Kedesh and Daberath to the Levites, who were the priests and servants of God. This shows us that God cares about providing for those who serve Him, just like He promised in Deuteronomy 18:1-2. The Levites needed a place to live and serve, and God made sure they had what they needed, just as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:33. This reminds us that we can trust God to provide for us, no matter what our needs may be.]
