Shimri and Jeuel from the Elizaphanites;
The Elizaphanites were descendants of Elizaphan, a leader of the Kohathite clan within the Levites. The Levites were set apart for religious duties, and the Kohathites had specific responsibilities related to the care of the sanctuary. Shimri and Jeuel, as Elizaphanites, were part of this sacred lineage, emphasizing their role in the religious reforms under King Hezekiah. This highlights the importance of lineage and duty in the restoration of proper worship practices in Judah.

Zechariah and Mattaniah from the Asaphites;
The Asaphites were descendants of Asaph, a prominent Levite musician appointed by King David to lead worship in the tabernacle. Asaph was known for his role in composing psalms, and his descendants continued this musical and prophetic tradition. Zechariah and Mattaniah, as Asaphites, were likely involved in the musical aspects of temple worship, contributing to the spiritual revival led by Hezekiah. This connection underscores the continuity of worship practices from David's time and the enduring legacy of Asaph's contributions to Israel's spiritual life.

Leadership and Responsibility
The specific mention of individuals by name emphasizes the importance of leadership and personal responsibility in the work of God. Each believer has a unique role to play in the body of Christ.(13) The sons of Elizaphan.--Or, Elzaphan, ben Uzziel ben Kohath (Exodus 6:18), who was prince of the bne Kohath in the time of Moses (Numbers 3:30). Two of this leading house and two of the Gershonite Asaphites were also present.

Verse 13. - Elizaphan (Exodus 6:22). He was chief of the Kohathites in the time of Moses (Numbers 3:30; comp. 1 Chronicles 15:8). This family, though we do not read why, seems always to have retained a separate existence.
