- 1 Chronicles 27:1–27:15
Places Maharai the Netophathite of Zerah over the tenth-month division. Read 1 Chronicles 27:13 within 27:1–27:15. The complete unit records: Twelve named commanders lead courses of 24,000 for successive months, with continuity noted when Asahel's son follows him.
Why It Needs Context
Places Maharai the Netophathite of Zerah over the tenth-month division. Its responsible force depends on 27:1–27:15; isolated from “Twelve monthly military divisions serve the king,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
