1 Chronicles 26:25 Summary

This verse, 1 Chronicles 26:25, tells us about Shebuel's relatives, who were in charge of the treasuries, just like their ancestor Moses had important responsibilities, as seen in Exodus 4:13-16 and Numbers 12:1-13. The Bible teaches us that we are all stewards of the resources God has given us, and we should use them wisely, as taught in Matthew 25:14-30. By studying the example of Shebuel and his relatives, we can learn more about being faithful and responsible with what God has entrusted to us, and this can help us in our everyday lives, just as it did for the Israelites in the Old Testament, as recorded in books like Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

  2. How can we apply the principles of responsible stewardship, as implied in 1 Chronicles 26:25, to our own management of resources and talents?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 26:25

And his brethren by Eliezer,.... His kinsmen that descended from Eliezer, the brother of Gershom, the ancestor of Shebuel, whose descent from him in succession were Rehabiah, Jeshaiah, Joram, Zichri, and Shelomith.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 26:25

And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 26:25

His brethren by Eliezer; another son of Moses, .

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 26:25

(25) 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, &c. (Comp. 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).
