From the Izharites
The term "Izharites" refers to the descendants of Izhar, who was a son of Kohath, one of the sons of Levi. The Levites were set apart for religious duties, and the Kohathites, in particular, had the responsibility of caring for the most sacred objects of the tabernacle. The Izharites, as a clan within the Kohathites, were part of this honored lineage. This highlights the importance of family heritage and the continuation of sacred duties through generations, emphasizing the value of faithfulness and dedication to God's service.

Shelomoth
The name "Shelomoth" is derived from the Hebrew root "shalom," meaning peace or completeness. This name reflects a desire for harmony and wholeness, which is a recurring theme in the biblical narrative. Shelomoth's inclusion in this genealogical record underscores the importance of each individual's role in the larger community of faith. It serves as a reminder that every person, regardless of their specific duties, contributes to the peace and well-being of the community.

From the sons of Shelomoth
This phrase indicates the continuation of the family line and the passing down of responsibilities from one generation to the next. In the context of the Levitical duties, it underscores the importance of training and preparing the next generation to carry on the work of ministry. It is a call to invest in the spiritual development of our children and to ensure that they are equipped to serve God faithfully.

Jahath
The name "Jahath" is believed to mean "union" or "he will snatch up." This name may symbolize the unity and strength that comes from being part of a community dedicated to God's service. Jahath's mention in this verse highlights the significance of each individual's contribution to the collective mission of the Levites. It serves as an inspiration to believers to remain united in purpose and to support one another in fulfilling God's calling.

(22) Of the Izharites.--For the Izharites. The Gentilic form of this designation indicates that Shubael, Rehabiah, and others of these proper names, are likewise names of houses or clans.

Shelomoth is mentioned in 1Chronicles 23:18, but not the chief, "Jahath."

Verse 22. - Jahath. Here follows in order after the Amramites, Jahath, a descendant from Izhar, Kohath's second son (1 Chronicles 23:12, 18), through Shelomoth (otherwise Shelemith). This Jahath furnishes for us the third name of this series of "other sons of Levi." And Keil plausibly argues, from the absence of these three names from the list of 1 Chronicles 23:6, 23, that, while that list is occupied with fathers' houses, this list is occupied with the official classes of the Levites who were to be engaged in the way already stated.
