Levi's Dual Leadership
Scholars explain that the tribe of Levi is unique in this list for having two designated leaders. Hashabiah was the prince for the tribe of Levi as a whole, while Zadok, the high priest, was the leader specifically for the priestly line of Aaron. This distinction highlights the special administrative role and importance of the priesthood within the broader tribe of Levi and the nation of Israel.
