Many a Christian has come to the genealogies of Chronicles and jumped right over them to more "exciting" passages. Yet the Bible tells us in II Timothy 3:16-17 that

"All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
