over the treasures of the house of God
on 1 Chronicles 26:20-26
Ahijah is named first over the treasuries, then the text moves into the Gershonite and Kohathite branches that actually held the trust, Levites tracking money and dedicated gifts with the same by-family precision used for gates and courses. Shebuel, son of Gershom, son of Moses, is named ruler of the treasures, which John Gill reads as the first time in Chronicles that a descendant of Moses holds a post of honor and trust, an office reached through service rather than through his grandfather's name. Two treasuries are kept apart, the ordinary house treasury and the treasury of the dedicated things, because gifts set apart by vow needed an accounting distinct from what ran the building day to day.
