Shebuel

From the sons of Amram:
Amram was a significant figure as the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam (Exodus 6:20). His lineage is crucial because Moses and Aaron played pivotal roles in leading the Israelites out of Egypt and establishing the priesthood. The mention of Amram here highlights the continuation of his line in the service of the temple.

Shubael;
Shubael, also known as Shebuel in some translations, was a descendant of Amram. His name means "captive of God," which may reflect a life dedicated to divine service. Shubael's role in the temple service is noted in1 Chronicles 23:16, where he is listed among those responsible for the treasuries of the house of God, indicating a position of trust and responsibility.

from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.
Jehdeiah, whose name means "Jehovah is joyful," is noted as a descendant of Shubael. The mention of Jehdeiah signifies the continuation of the Levitical line and their ongoing service in the temple. This lineage underscores the faithfulness of God in maintaining the priestly line and the importance of family heritage in the religious life of Israel. The genealogical record serves as a reminder of the enduring covenant between God and the Levites, ensuring that worship and service remain central to the life of the nation.

“Now these were the rest of the descendants of Levi…” (1 Chronicles 24:20)

•1 Chronicles 24 has just detailed twenty-four priestly divisions from the line of Aaron (verses 1-19). Verse 20 signals a shift to the other Levitical families who served alongside the priests, completing the picture of temple service.

• This reminder that every Levitical clan had a God-appointed place echoesNumbers 3:5-10, where the LORD assigns distinct tasks to Levi’s sons.

• The phrase “the rest” underlines inclusion rather than exclusion. Though not of Aaronic priesthood, these Levites were indispensable to worship, a truth affirmed later in2 Chronicles 31:2.

“From the sons of Amram: Shubael…” (1 Chronicles 24:20)

• Amram, father of Moses and Aaron (Exodus 6:20), represents the distinguished lineage of leadership and mediation.

• Shubael, a descendant, appears earlier as “Shebuel” supervising temple treasuries (1 Chronicles 23:16; 26:24). His placement here shows that administrative oversight is a sacred calling, springing from a family historically linked to delivering God’s law.

• By naming Shubael, Scripture teaches continuity: the same family that once carried the law through the wilderness now guards the offerings and resources that support ongoing worship.

“…from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah.” (1 Chronicles 24:20)

• Jehdeiah emerges as next in line, demonstrating that faithful service extends through generations (seePsalm 78:5-7).

• Though little else is recorded about him, his inclusion assures us that God records every labor done for His house (Hebrews 6:10).

• The linear listing—Amram → Shubael → Jehdeiah—highlights orderly succession, reflecting the directive of1 Corinthians 14:40 that “all things be done decently and in order.”

1 Chronicles 24:20 shows God’s meticulous care in organizing temple ministry. By naming Amram’s later descendants, the verse affirms that every branch of Levi’s family tree held a vital, God-ordained role. Shubael and Jehdeiah illustrate how leadership, stewardship, and generational faithfulness flow from the same roots that once bore Moses and Aaron. The verse reassures believers that the Lord values each servant, records each name, and weaves every assignment into the larger tapestry of His worshiping people.

Of the sons of Amram; Shubael.--For the sons. Shubael is a variant of "Shebuel" (1Chronicles 23:16). The same variation recurs in1Chronicles 25:4;1Chronicles 25:20. Shebuel was grandson to Moses (1Chronicles 23:16). Here the name represents a Levitical house or class, of which, in David's time Jehdeiah (Jah gladdens) was the head. The name "Jehdeiah" occurs again in1Chronicles 26:30, and nowhere else in the Old Testament. (Comp. "Jahdiel,"God gladdens,1Chronicles 5:24.) . . .
