This site's exposition

The sons of Izhar

on 1 Chronicles 23:18-23

One line breaks the pattern: “Eleazar died without having any sons”, and “Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them”. The law in Numbers 27 and 36 makes the same provision for Zelophehad's daughters, so a family's inheritance stays inside its tribe. The detail keeps a line in the record.

This site's exposition

Jeriah was the first

Hebron's house has four heads: Jeriah, Amariah, Jahaziel and Jekameam. The same four names return in 1 Chronicles 24:23. Albert Barnes, on that verse, takes the four as heads of the Hebronite houses in David's time.
