· Translation: KJV

1 Chronicles 3:7and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

The setting

Jerusalem, Israel, ~450 BC. The chronicler continues David's family record, naming children history barely remembers...

The emotion here: careful preservation of every precious detail

The original word

zakar (זָכַר) — to remember, to mention by name

Why it matters

Nogah appears only in Chronicles genealogies and nowhere else in Scripture

Read with care

What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 3:7

These were real children who played in David's palace but left no other historical record

Common misconceptionPeople think biblical genealogies only matter for the famous names, but God recorded even the forgotten children because every life has eternal significance.
