From the Izharites: Shelomoth;
The Izharites were a Levitical family descending from Izhar, the son of Kohath, who was a son of Levi. This lineage is significant as the Kohathites were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects. Shelomoth, also spelled Shelomith in some translations, is a name that appears in various contexts in the Old Testament, often associated with leadership or service in the temple. The mention of Shelomoth here highlights the continuation of the Levitical duties and the importance of maintaining the priestly lineage and responsibilities.

from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath.
Jahath is identified as a descendant of Shelomoth, indicating the continuation of the Levitical line and their roles in temple service. The name Jahath appears in other genealogical records, suggesting a recurring family name that may denote a position of honor or responsibility. This lineage emphasizes the structured organization of temple duties, ensuring that each family had specific roles. The careful recording of these genealogies underscores the importance of heritage and the fulfillment of God’s commands regarding worship and service.

Persons / Places / Events

3. Jahath
The son of Shelomoth, indicating a continuation of the Levitical line and responsibilities. His name means "union" or "he will snatch up" in Hebrew.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Order in Worship
The division of the Levites into specific roles underscores the importance of order and structure in worship. This reflects God's nature as a God of order and not chaos.

Generational Faithfulness
The mention of Shelomoth and Jahath highlights the importance of passing down faith and responsibilities through generations. It encourages us to invest in the spiritual growth of the next generation.

Every Role Matters
Even though some names and roles may seem minor, each person had a vital part in the functioning of the temple. This teaches us that every role in the church is significant, no matter how small it may seem.

Commitment to God's Work
The dedication of the Levites to their duties serves as a model for our commitment to serving God in whatever capacity He calls us.(22) Of the Izharites.--For the Izharites. The Gentilic form of this designation indicates that Shubael, Rehabiah, and others of these proper names, are likewise names of houses or clans.

Shelomoth is mentioned in 1Chronicles 23:18, but not the chief, "Jahath."

Verse 22. - Jahath. Here follows in order after the Amramites, Jahath, a descendant from Izhar, Kohath's second son (1 Chronicles 23:12, 18), through Shelomoth (otherwise Shelemith). This Jahath furnishes for us the third name of this series of "other sons of Levi." And Keil plausibly argues, from the absence of these three names from the list of 1 Chronicles 23:6, 23, that, while that list is occupied with fathers' houses, this list is occupied with the official classes of the Levites who were to be engaged in the way already stated.
