1 Chronicles 26:26 In-Context

24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom, Moses' son, was the chief officer in charge of the treasuries.

25 His relatives through Eliezer included his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.

26 This Shelomoth and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries of the gifts dedicated by King David, by the household leaders, by the commanders of the units of a thousand and a hundred, and by the army officers.

27 They had dedicated some of the valuable objects won in battle to repair the LORD's temple.

28 Everything that was dedicated by Samuel the seer, as well as by Saul, Kish's son; Abner, Ner's son; and Joab, Zeruiah's son—in fact, anything that had been dedicated—was under the supervision of Shelomoth and his relatives.
