Something else I've found interesting in them is how in general, it is primarily men who are considered important enough to be listed, but every so often a woman is specified, and that also has meaning, particularly within the patriarchal culture in which they lived. We might ask why the writer chose to add in those women, or when it comes to both men and women, why were these particular people emphasized and not some of the others?
Well, from this which you point out, I can get a few possible love lessons.
For one thing, a man being mentioned in scripture does not necessarily mean he is somehow superior, better - - for example . . . Judas. And another thing I just think of now, is how God names a lot of men, but that is all He has to say about them: their names, and they each had at least one son for the genealogy.
But Enoch is distinguished; God is impressed enough with him to say how he walked with the LORD and the LORD received him. Plus, there is Jabez. So, it is possible that so many of those other men never did a thing worth God repeating in scripture. So, that would not at all indicate their somehow being more than women.
Yet, when God gets to Ruth . . . we get how many chapters about her? So, when God is impressed with someone, it matters not if the person is male or female. And position over or under someone else has nothing to do with how a person's character is and if the person is able to love and have God's favor.
And look at how Abigail was proven by God to David > 1 Samuel 25. She stood up to David, put him in his right place, and he praised the LORD for having her do that. And her servants went to her with their concerns; they trusted her, I would say. So, she could have been famous in the most important way . . . not of impressing a lot of Bible scholars, but in how she was personally trusted by servants and how she personally loved and helped them.
Possibly David's esteem for Abigail was somewhat mixed with his admiration for her beauty. If he became able to fall for Bathsheba like he did, I see he might not have appreciated Abigail for totally godly reasons. And she could see through that, perhaps > after all, when he proposed to her, she was talking about how she was going to wash the feet of his servants. So, may be Abigail knew where the real loving would be.
In loving and helping a person deeply, you could be famous in the best possible way . . . with one person, with quality of love, though not quantity of numbers of praising spectators.
I would say that during past decades I have shared with people who loved me genuinely, who were my example of how I needed to become a truly loving person. They are more famous, for me, than a lot of big-name leaders and charmers of history.
