Interpretation: The list shows that David's kingdom was well run, with officials over each kind of produce. Tradition values such order as part of a just government. In the primary lessons: In everyday life cellars store coal, food, wine, tools or old things; they are cool and dark. In stories cellars are often spooky, hidden places. In geography and safety, people in places with tornadoes shelter in a storm cellar. Phrase: «from cellar to attic» (the whole house).
