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.

And his brethren by Eliezer,.... His kinsmen that descended from Eliezer, the brother of Gershom, the ancestor of Shebuel, whose descent from him in succession were Rehabiah, Jeshaiah, Joram, Zichri, and Shelomith.
