1 Chronicles 27:26

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records this administrative roster during the reign of David, listing officials who oversee agricultural and storage resources. The words — עֹשֵׂי ('o.sei) = [the] doers and הָ/אֲדָמָ֑ה (ha./'a.da.mah) = the ground, which combine to describe the laborers assigned to the soil. The thread — The provided context places this appointment directly between Azmaveth’s oversight of royal storehouses and Shimei’s management of vineyards (1 Chronicles 27:25, 27). Why it lands — The text states that Ezri son of Chelub held authority over field workers, requiring the reader to note the deliberate, structured delegation of agricultural labor in the narrative.
