1 Chronicles 24:22

“Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.”

Immediate Context

The preceding line reads “Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.” The titled verse reads “Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.” The following line reads “And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.” Together, these lines place 1 Chronicles 24:22 within its immediate canonical and literary sequence.

Reading the Verse

The verse preserves names, relationships, or group identities within a genealogical or census record. It should be read for the precise people and connections it actually names; the text does not supply motives or character judgments beyond those details.

The wording develops in three movements: “Of the Izharites;” then “Shelomoth:” and finally “of the sons of Shelomoth;” These clauses should be read together.

Biblical Significance

Such records establish continuity across generations and locate individuals and families within Israel’s history. Their brevity does not make them dispensable: their value lies in the accuracy of the relationships, names, and numbers preserved.

Application

A faithful response is careful attention. Readers should receive the record as written, avoid inventing details beyond it, and allow the surrounding genealogy or census to explain each person’s place.
