<p>22:25&nbsp;<em>Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first married and died having no seed, and thus left his wife to his brother</em>- This must have been a most unfortunate family. The Old Testament speaks of the failure to build up a house / family and the death of men in youth as being a curse from God for disobedience (Job 18:19; Ps. 107:38,39). Again, the Lord could have made capital of this- but He didn&rsquo;t. There was no element of personal attack, but rather an appeal to higher principle.</p>
