"and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests." — 2 Chronicles 17:8 (ASV)
And with them he sent Levites
With the five princes he sent nine Levites:
even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and
Tobadonijah, Levites ;
of whom we nowhere else read; no doubt they were principal persons, and fit for the work they were sent about:
and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests ;
whose lips were to keep knowledge, and at whose mouth the law was to be sought, (Malachi 2:7) .
