The sons of Hebron
This phrase introduces the lineage of Hebron, a descendant of Levi, emphasizing the importance of genealogies in the Chronicler's narrative. The Hebrew root for "Hebron" (חֶבְרוֹן) is associated with "association" or "joining," reflecting the interconnectedness of the Levitical families in their service to God. Historically, Hebron was a significant city in Judah, often linked with patriarchal narratives, underscoring the continuity of God's covenantal promises through generations.

Jeriah was the first
Jeriah, meaning "taught by Yahweh" or "Yahweh has seen," is noted as the firstborn, which in biblical tradition often signifies a position of leadership or preeminence. The emphasis on Jeriah being the first highlights the importance of birth order in ancient Israelite culture, where the firstborn often received a double portion of inheritance and held a special role in family and religious duties.

Amariah the second
Amariah, meaning "Yahweh has promised" or "Yahweh speaks," is the second son. This name reflects a deep trust in God's promises and His communication with His people. The position of Amariah as the second son suggests a supportive role in the family hierarchy, yet his name indicates a significant spiritual heritage and responsibility.

Jahaziel the third
Jahaziel, meaning "God sees" or "God reveals," is the third son. This name underscores the theme of divine revelation and insight, suggesting that Jahaziel's role may have involved discernment or prophetic insight within the Levitical duties. The placement as the third son often indicates a role of mediation or balance within the family structure.

Jekameam the fourth
Jekameam, meaning "the people will rise" or "the people are established," is the fourth son. This name conveys a sense of stability and hope for the future, reflecting the role of the Levites in establishing and maintaining the worship and spiritual life of Israel. Being the fourth son, Jekameam's position might symbolize completeness or fullness, as the number four often represents in biblical numerology.

(19) The sons of Hebron.--"Of" is wanting in the Hebrew here, as well as in 1Chronicles 23:16; 1Chronicles 23:18; 1Chronicles 23:20. The sons of Hebron comprised four houses, clans, or classes. Their names recur in 1Chronicles 24:23.

Verse 19. - Hebron. This third son of Kohath furnishes four houses. So again in the twenty-third verse of the following chapter.
