Now concerning the rest of the descendants of Levi
This phrase introduces a continuation of the genealogical record of the Levites, emphasizing the importance of the Levitical lineage in the service of the temple. The Levites were set apart for religious duties, and their genealogies were meticulously recorded to ensure the purity and continuity of their service. The Hebrew root for "descendants" (בְּנֵי, b'nei) signifies sons or children, indicating a direct lineage that is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the priestly and Levitical roles.

from the sons of Amram
Amram is a significant figure as the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, making his lineage particularly noteworthy. The mention of Amram here connects the Levitical service to the foundational leaders of Israel. Historically, Amram's family played a pivotal role in the Exodus and the establishment of Israelite worship practices. The Hebrew name "Amram" (עַמְרָם) means "exalted people," reflecting the elevated status of his descendants in the religious life of Israel.

Shubael
Shubael, also known as Shebuel in some translations, is a descendant of Amram. His name (שֻׁבָאֵל) means "captive of God" or "returned to God," which may reflect a dedication or consecration to divine service. This name underscores the theme of devotion and service to God that is central to the Levitical identity. Shubael's role in the temple service, as recorded in Chronicles, highlights the continuity of worship and the importance of each individual's contribution to the collective religious life of Israel.

from the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah
Jehdeiah, whose name (יְחְדְיָה) means "Jehovah rejoices" or "God knows," is a further link in the Levitical chain. His inclusion in this genealogy emphasizes the personal relationship between God and His servants, as well as the joy and knowledge that come from serving Him. The mention of Jehdeiah serves as a reminder of the personal nature of faith and the individual commitment required in the service of God. This lineage not only preserves historical records but also inspires believers to recognize their own place in God's ongoing work through history.

(20) And the rest of the sons of Levi were these.--Rather, And for the sons of Levi that were left over; i.e., after the priests had been separately dealt with. The list begins with the Kohathite heads, omitting the Gershonites (1Chronicles 23:7-11), perhaps owing to a lacuna in the chronicler's MS. authority.

Of the sons of Amram; Shubael.--For the sons. Shubael is a variant of "Shebuel" (1Chronicles 23:16). The same variation recurs in 1Chronicles 25:4; 1Chronicles 25:20. Shebuel was grandson to Moses (1Chronicles 23:16). Here the name represents a Levitical house or class, of which, in David's time Jehdeiah (Jah gladdens) was the head. The name "Jehdeiah" occurs again in 1Chronicles 26:30, and nowhere else in the Old Testament. (Comp. "Jahdiel," God gladdens, 1Chronicles 5:24.) . . .

Verses 20-31. - The distribution of the other Levites. Verse 20. - The rest of the sons of Levi designated here are explained sufficiently clearly by ver. 30. They were those who were not of the sons of Aaron, not priests, but whose "office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 23:28), for certain specified work, some of which was of the more menial character. These, of course, do not exhaust the whole of the non-priestly Levites; for we read distinctly in the following two chapters of other detachments of the non-priestly Levites, whose office was as singers, doorkeepers, and treasure-keepers. And this consideration may of itself possibly be a sufficient account of the absence of any of the family of Gershonites in the list of the present chapter, though they do appear to view for other work in 1 Chronicles 26:21, etc. Amram... Shubael. The latter of these two names marks the line of Moses, in his eider son, Gershon, whose son was Shebuel (1 Chronicles 23:15, 16), as the former is the name of the father of Moses, and eldest son of Kohath.
