Historically, after the division of the united monarchy, these tribes were often associated with idolatry and strayed from the worship of Yahweh. The mention of these tribes indicates a remnant of faithfulness among them, despite the prevailing apostasy. This remnant theme is consistent throughout Scripture, where God preserves a faithful group even in times of widespread unfaithfulness (e.g., <a href="/1_kings/19-18.htm">1 Kings 19:18</a>). The inclusion of these tribes also signifies the beginning of a reunification of the divided kingdom under a common worship of God, foreshadowing the ultimate unity found in Christ (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a>).<p><b>humbled themselves</b><br>Humility is a recurring biblical theme, often associated with repentance and a return to God (<a href="/2_chronicles/7-14.htm">2 Chronicles 7:14</a>). The act of humbling oneself is a prerequisite for receiving God's grace and favor (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>). In the context of <a href="/2_chronicles/30.htm">2 Chronicles 30</a>, this humility is demonstrated by the willingness of individuals from these tribes to acknowledge their need for God and to seek Him in Jerusalem, despite the political and religious pressures of their own kingdom. This act of humility can be seen as a type of the repentance that Jesus calls for in the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/4-17.htm">Matthew 4:17</a>).<p><b>and came to Jerusalem</b><br>Jerusalem, the city chosen by God for His temple, represents the center of true worship and the presence of God (<a href="/psalms/132-13.htm">Psalm 132:13-14</a>). The pilgrimage to Jerusalem signifies a return to the proper worship of Yahweh, as prescribed in the Law of Moses. This journey is not merely geographical but also spiritual, symbolizing a return to covenant faithfulness. The act of coming to Jerusalem prefigures the gathering of all nations to worship God in the eschatological vision of the prophets (<a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-3</a>) and finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem described in <a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asher.htm">Asher</a></b><br>One of the tribes of Israel, located in the northern kingdom.
