1 Chronicles 23:10
“The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.”
What does 1 Chronicles 23:10 mean?
This genealogy from Chronicles records the family line of Shimei, one of the Levites assigned temple duties during David's reign. The list itself is straightforward: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah were his four sons who would have inherited their father's role in caring for the tabernacle and later the temple. While these names might feel distant to us, they represented real families entrusted with sacred work, reminding us that worship and service to God have always involved ordinary people doing faithful work across generations.
