1 Chronical 1:34-54
Abraham was the father of Isaac. The sons of Isaac: Esau and Israel.
The sons of Esau: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz; by Timna: Amalek...
Abram, Issac, Israel(Jacob); descendants of Ishmael and Esau. Attention narrows down to the father of the nation.
Why?
Mainly it is describing the descendant of David and his ancestor.
But the Bible is caring for the other descendants which belong to Abraham and Edom.
The foreigner sometimes is more smart than Christian for they have better social system to make a kingdom.
Bible not only describing the story of Jesus bur also mentioned the other tribes for they are the same descendants of Adam. They are the creation of the Lord.

聖經都是先看整體,然後再聚焦在幾個人身上。
神沒有揀選他們,卻仍然顧念他們。
除了血緣的關係,住在一起的人也記載,遠親不如近鄰。我們在教會沒有血緣關係,卻反而更親密。
以東已經發展許久,似乎以色列比較落後。人可以發展很有規模,歷史上已經找不到以東的蹤跡。人不認識神,即使有成就卻不蒙記念。我們無論現在發展有多好,若不認識神,都將煙飛灰滅!
唯有遵行父旨意的能夠存到永遠。願我們所做的蒙記念,所做的存到永久。

How?
All of us are the creation of the Lord, be chosen by the Lord is how great and wonderful.
