the son of Hashabiah
Hashabiah is a name that appears multiple times in the genealogies and records of the Levites. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties and temple service in Israel. Hashabiah's inclusion in this genealogy underscores the importance of maintaining a clear lineage for those serving in the temple, as the Levites were responsible for the spiritual leadership and worship practices of Israel. This lineage emphasizes the continuity and faithfulness of God's covenant with the Levites, as seen in passages like Numbers 3:12-13, where God claims the Levites as His own.

the son of Amaziah
Amaziah, in this context, is part of the Levitical genealogy, which highlights the hereditary nature of the priestly and Levitical roles. The name Amaziah means "Yahweh is mighty," reflecting the cultural practice of naming children with theophoric elements that honor God. This practice was common in Israelite culture, emphasizing the community's devotion and recognition of God's sovereignty. The genealogical record serves to authenticate the legitimacy of the Levitical service, ensuring that those who served were rightly descended from the tribe of Levi.

the son of Hilkiah
Hilkiah is a significant name in the Old Testament, most notably associated with the high priest during the reign of King Josiah, who discovered the Book of the Law in the temple (2 Kings 22:8). While this Hilkiah may not be the same individual, the name carries connotations of religious reform and dedication to God's law. The inclusion of Hilkiah in the genealogy underscores the importance of maintaining a pure and unbroken line of Levitical service, which was crucial for the proper worship and spiritual leadership of Israel. This lineage reflects the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness in preserving His people and their leaders throughout history.

Names and Meanings
