the sons of Rehabiah
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Rehabiah, a descendant of Levi, the son of Jacob. In the Hebrew context, "sons" (בְּנֵי, b'nei) often refers not only to direct offspring but also to descendants or members of a family line. Rehabiah is a significant figure within the Levitical priesthood, and his descendants played a crucial role in the religious life of Israel. The Levites were set apart for the service of the Tabernacle and later the Temple, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a pure and dedicated lineage for the service of God.

the first was Isshiah
The mention of Isshiah as "the first" (הָרִאשׁוֹן, ha-rishon) indicates his position of prominence or leadership among the sons of Rehabiah. In ancient Israelite culture, the firstborn held a special status, often receiving a double portion of the inheritance and assuming leadership responsibilities within the family. Isshiah's name (יִשִׁיָּה, Yishayah) can be translated as "Yahweh exists" or "Yahweh lends support," reflecting a deep connection to the divine and a reminder of God's presence and support in the lives of His people. This name serves as an inspiration for believers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and relying on God's presence in our lives.

(21) Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons.--For Rehabiah: for the sons of Rehabiah, the chief (head) was Isshiah. 1Chronicles 23:17 only says that the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.

Verse 21. - Rehabiah. This name marks the line of Moses, in the person of his younger son, Eliezer, father of Rehabiah. And the practical result of these two verses is to give us the two "chiefs," or heads, or representatives, Jehdeiah and Isshiah, both Amramites.
