Supervisors of the Storehouses

26:20 Their fellow Levites were in charge of the storehouses ⁵  in God’s temple and the storehouses containing consecrated items. 26:21 The descendants of Ladan, ⁶  who were descended from Gershon through Ladan and were leaders of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, included Jehieli ⁷  26:22 and the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the storehouses in the Lord’s temple.

26:23 As for the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites:

26:24 Shebuel ⁸  son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was the supervisor of the storehouses. 26:25 His relatives through Eliezer included: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son, and Shelomith ⁹  his son. 26:26 Shelomith ¹⁰  and his relatives were in charge of all the storehouses containing the consecrated items dedicated by King David, the family leaders who led units of a thousand and a hundred, and the army officers. 26:27 They had dedicated some of the plunder taken in battles to be used for repairs on the Lord’s temple.
