SCRIPTURE

"And his brethren: of Eliezer [came] Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son." — 1 Chronicles 26:25 (ASV)

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, etc. (Compare to 1 Chronicles 23:17). The object of the verse is to show the extraction of Shelomith or Shelomoth, whose function is defined in 1 Chronicles 26:26. Shelomith the Amramite is not to be confused with the Gershomite Shelomith (1 Chronicles 23:9), nor with the Izharite (1 Chronicles 23:18; 1 Chronicles 24:22).
