SCRIPTURE

"Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen." — 2 Chronicles 35:9 (ASV)

Conaniah also ... Jozabad. —The three names Conaniah, Shemaiah, and Jozabad, occurred as belonging to principal Levites under Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:12–15). They may be names of leading houses rather than persons.
