and Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler over the treasures.
KJV
And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. This is the first time that any of the posterity of Moses are taken notice of, as being in any office of honour, authority, and trust; by the Targum he is said to be Jonathan, spoken of in Jdg 18:30 but very wrongly; this man, according to Jarchi and Kimchi, had all the treasures and treasurers under him.
None of those Levites who were employed in the service of the sanctuary, none of the singers or porters, were concerned in this outward business; either one was enough to engage the whole man or it was presumption to undertake both. Their charge was both in all business of the Lord, and in the service of the kings,
Shebuel the son of Gershom - “Shebuel, that is, Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, who returned to God [שבואל shebuel]. And David, seeing him expert in money matters, constituted him chief treasurer.” - T.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
