What Does 1 Chronicles 24:21 Mean?
The listing of the Levitical houses continues. Concerning Rehabiah, the chronicler notes that Isshiah was the first of his sons -- the leading head of that branch of the family.
To name the first son is to mark who carried responsibility for the house. Leadership in God's service is a stewardship handed down and taken up. Each generation must receive the trust and bear it faithfully, so that the work does not fail when those before have passed on.
