Rehabiah his son “…Rehabiah his son…” • Rehabiah is singled out earlier: “The sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first” (1 Chronicles 23:17). The word “first” hints at prominence. • Numbers 3:27–32 records how the Kohathites (to whom Moses and Eliezer belonged) bore the most sacred objects of the tabernacle. Rehabiah continues that privileged lineage. • The hand-off reminds us of Proverbs 13:22—“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children”—underscoring spiritual as well as material stewardship. Jeshaiah his son “…Jeshaiah his son…” • Jeshaiah appears again in 1 Chronicles 24:21 among those assigned to temple functions. • Each generation takes its place, illustrating 2 Timothy 2:2: truth entrusted to faithful people who will teach others also. • His inclusion demonstrates that the service of God’s house is never a one-generation endeavor. Joram his son “…Joram his son…” • Though Scripture offers no further narrative on Joram, the chronicler records him to keep the unbroken chain. • Psalm 78:5-7 speaks of making God’s works known “to their children,” and Joram’s placement signals that this calling was fulfilled even when history is silent about individual exploits. • God values faithfulness over fame; the listing itself is His commendation (Hebrews 6:10). Zichri his son “…Zichri his son…” • Zichri’s name surfaces in other tribal contexts (e.g., 1 Chronicles 8:23; 9:15), but here he is tethered to the Mosaic line, reinforcing how widespread family networks served together in worship. • The overlap of names across clans shows the unity of Israel’s service (Ephesians 4:16), many members yet one body. • Even anonymous servants help secure God’s treasures (1 Corinthians 12:22). Shelomith his son “…and Shelomith his son.” • Shelomith becomes the point man over all temple treasuries: “Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts” (1 Chronicles 26:26). • From Moses to Shelomith, about 400 years pass, proving Numbers 18:7 true—priestly service is a perpetual ordinance. • Stewardship of holy resources foreshadows New-Covenant giving (1 Corinthians 4:2; 2 Corinthians 9:12), teaching modern believers to guard what God entrusts to us. summary 1 Chronicles 26:25 traces five generations from Moses’ son Eliezer to Shelomith, the treasurer in David’s day. Each brief name underlines God’s covenant faithfulness, the power of a godly heritage, and the importance of quiet, consistent service over centuries. What begins with Moses carrying the tabernacle’s instruments culminates in Shelomith safeguarding the temple’s riches, reminding us that every generation has its assignment, and God records each one. (25) And his brethren by Eliezer.--And his (Shebuel's) brethren (kinsmen) belonging to (the house of) Eliezer (Moses' second son) were Rehabiah his (Eliezer's) son, and Jeshaiah his (Rehabiah's) son, &c. (Comp. 1Chronicles 23:17.) The object of the verse is to show the extraction of Shelomith or Shelomoth, whose function is defined in 1Chronicles 26:26. Shelomith the Amramite is not to be confused with the Gershomite Shelomith (1Chronicles 23:9), nor with the Izharite (1Chronicles 23:18; 1Chronicles 24:22).Hebrew His relativesוְאֶחָ֖יו (wə·’e·ḥāw) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular Strong's 251: A brother, ) through Eliezer [included] לֶֽאֱלִיעֶ֑זֶר (le·’ĕ·lî·‘e·zer) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 461: Eliezer -- 'God is help', the name of several Israelites, also of a Damascene Rehabiah רְחַבְיָ֨הוּ (rə·ḥaḇ·yā·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 7345: Rehabiah -- 'Yah has enlarged', grandson of Moses his son, בְנ֜וֹ (ḇə·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular Strong's 1121: A son Jeshaiah וִֽישַׁעְיָ֤הוּ (wî·ša‘·yā·hū) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3470: Isaiah -- 'salvation of Yah', four Israelites his son, בְנוֹ֙ (ḇə·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular Strong's 1121: A son Joram וְיֹרָ֣ם (wə·yō·rām) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3141: Joram his son, בְּנ֔וֹ (bə·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular Strong's 1121: A son Zichri וְזִכְרִ֥י (wə·ziḵ·rî) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 2147: Zichri -- the name of several Israelites his son, בְנ֖וֹ (ḇə·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular Strong's 1121: A son and Shelomith וּשְׁלֹמִ֥ית (ū·šə·lō·mîṯ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 8013: Shelomith -- Shelomoth his son. בְּנֽוֹ׃ (bə·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular Strong's 1121: A son Links 1 Chronicles 26:25 NIV1 Chronicles 26:25 NLT 1 Chronicles 26:25 ESV 1 Chronicles 26:25 NASB 1 Chronicles 26:25 KJV 1 Chronicles 26:25 BibleApps.com 1 Chronicles 26:25 Biblia Paralela 1 Chronicles 26:25 Chinese Bible 1 Chronicles 26:25 French Bible 1 Chronicles 26:25 Catholic Bible OT History: 1 Chronicles 26:25 His brothers: of Eliezer came Rehabiah his (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr) |
