"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).
