This Shelomith
The name "Shelomith" is derived from the Hebrew root "shalom," meaning peace or completeness. Shelomith, in this context, is a Levite, a descendant of Kohath, and is entrusted with a significant responsibility. His role underscores the importance of peace and order in managing sacred duties. The Levites were set apart for the service of the temple, and Shelomith's leadership reflects the trust placed in him to maintain the integrity and sanctity of the temple's treasures.

and his relatives
The involvement of Shelomith's relatives indicates a family or clan-based approach to temple service. This highlights the communal and generational aspect of worship and service in ancient Israel. The family unit was central to Israelite society, and the inclusion of relatives in this task suggests a shared responsibility and a collective commitment to God's work.

were in charge of all the treasuries
The phrase "in charge of all the treasuries" signifies a position of great responsibility and trust. The treasuries contained valuable items dedicated to God, and their management required integrity and diligence. This role was not merely administrative but also spiritual, as it involved safeguarding what was consecrated to the Lord. The Hebrew word for "treasuries" (אֹצָרוֹת, 'otsarot) implies a storehouse or repository, emphasizing the abundance and richness of the offerings.

of the things dedicated by King David
King David's dedication of treasures reflects his devotion and gratitude to God. These dedications were likely spoils of war or personal wealth set aside for the temple. David's actions set a precedent for future generations, illustrating the principle of giving back to God from one's blessings. The Hebrew term for "dedicated" (הַקְדִּישׁ, haqdish) conveys the idea of setting apart something as holy, underscoring the sacred nature of these offerings.

by the heads of families
The involvement of family heads in dedicating treasures indicates a collective act of worship and commitment. In ancient Israel, family heads held significant authority and were responsible for leading their households in spiritual matters. Their participation in dedicating treasures reflects their role as spiritual leaders and their dedication to supporting the temple and its services.

who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds
This phrase highlights the hierarchical structure of Israelite society and the military. Commanders of thousands and hundreds were leaders with authority and influence. Their involvement in dedicating treasures suggests that military leaders recognized the importance of honoring God with their resources. It also reflects the integration of civic and religious life, where leaders in various spheres contributed to the temple's wealth.

and by the army commanders
The mention of army commanders further emphasizes the unity between military and religious spheres in Israel. These commanders, who led Israel's forces, also played a role in supporting the temple. Their contributions to the treasuries demonstrate a recognition that victory and success in battle were attributed to God's favor, and thus, they dedicated part of their spoils to Him. This act of dedication served as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the need for His guidance in all aspects of life.

(26) Which Shelomith and his brethen.--He, viz., Shelomoth and his kinsmen.

Chief of fathers.--Heads of the clans.

The captains over thousands.--Heb., to the captains; a scribe's error.

Captains of the host.--Two are mentioned in 1Chronicles 26:28, viz., Abner and Joab (see 2Samuel 8:16; 1Chronicles 18:15; 1Chronicles 27:34). . . .

Verse 26. - The treasures. The very first use of this word to signify a place where treasures were kept is in Joshua 6:19, 24. The same word is used for either the place or the treasures kept in it. Not found in the Books of Samuel, the word often occurs in the two Books of Kings and of Chronicles, once in Ezra, several times in Nehemiah, etc. In our next chapter (1 Chronicles 27:25, 27, 28) it appears in the Authorized Version as "storehouses" and "cellars." Captains over thousands and hundreds (so see Exodus 18:21, 25; Numbers 31:14, etc.; Deuteronomy 1:15; 1 Samuel 8:12, etc.). Captains of the host (so Deuteronomy 20:9; Joshua 5:14, 15; Judges 4:2; 1 Samuel 17:55, etc.).
