759 BC Peka kills Pekahiah and grabs the throne of the Northern Kingdom. Genealogies are given of tribes: Simeon, Issachar, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim and Asher. In the Southern Kingdom, God calls Isaiah, of an influential family, to ministry and God gives him a vision of angels who cleanse him of sin. The chronicler also records the genealogy of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
Note 1 (1 Chronicles 4:24): The tribe of Simeon which had been given land south of Judah (Joshua 19) seems to have scattered as prophesied by Jacob (Genesis 49:7) – a few around Mt. Seir, and others to the north (2 Chronicles 15:9). Simeon is counted as part of the Northern Kingdom but after the Jeroboam/Reoboam split the geographical identity of all the tribes becomes confused as people migrated to their chosen form of worship: either temple worship in Judah or idolatry in the Northern Kingdom.
Note 2: Isaiah was the son of an upper-class family that moved in royal circles, so much of his advice and many of his warnings were primarily for this ruling class.
