Context — The Organization of the Levitesgenerated

21From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,
22the sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
23From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.

1 Chronicles 26:22 provides a record of the descendants of Jehieli, highlighting the roles of Zetham and Joel as they managed the treasuries of the house of the LORD. This verse fits within a broader narrative that outlines the responsibilities assigned to the Levites, emphasizing their importance in maintaining the temple and its resources, as seen in 1 Chronicles 23:8 and 1 Chronicles 29:8.

He lived in the kingdom of Judah, and at a time when the temple and temple-worship still existed, Joe 1:14 2:1,15,32 3:1. Different authors assign to his prophecy different dates, but the prevailing opinion is that he prophesied in the reign of Uzziah, nearly 800 B. C.

The BOOK of JOEL opens with a most graphic and powerful description of the devastation caused by swarms of divers kinds of locusts, accompanied by a terrible drought. The plague of locusts, one of the most dreadful scourges of the East, (see LOCUSTS,) is highly suggestive of an invasion of hostile legions such as have often ravaged Judea; and many have understood, by the locusts of Joel, the Chaldeans, Persians, Greeks, or Romans.
