Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records a genealogical list of the priestly divisions, continuing the enumeration of Levitical families following the Izharites and preceding the Uzzielites.
The words — הַ/שֵּׁנִ֔י (ha./she.Ni) translates literally as "the second," and הַ/שְּׁלִישִׁ֔י (ha./she.li.Shi) means "the third," establishing a strict ordinal sequence for the named sons.
The thread — This exact succession of four Hebronite sons appears identically in 1 Chronicles 23:19, while 1 Chronicles 26:31 expands the Hebronite lineage by naming Jerijah as their chief.
Why it lands — The text demands recognition of recorded lineage and institutional order, requiring the reader to trace how specific families are positioned within the broader priestly framework.
