Artwork is an interpretation. Scripture is quoted from the People's Open Bible.

1 Chronicles 4:14

The valley of craftsmen

Judah’s Craftsmen and Simeon’s Settlements · 1 Chronicles 4

Story guide: The verse identifies a valley of craftsmen in Seraiah’s family line. These anonymous workers contextualize that occupation; they are not David’s commander Joab. Faces, tools and workshop setting are artistic interpretations.
