His name appears in the context of the priestly lineage, highlighting the importance of maintaining a record of those who served in the temple and performed religious duties for the Israelites.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br>Tebaliah is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/26-11.htm">1 Chronicles 26:11</a>, which states: "Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: All the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen." <br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br>Tebaliah is identified as one of the sons of Hosah, a Levite who was assigned duties as a gatekeeper in the temple. The gatekeepers were responsible for maintaining the security and sanctity of the temple, ensuring that only those who were ceremonially clean could enter. This role was crucial in preserving the holiness of the temple, which was the center of worship and religious life for the Israelites.<br><br><b>Levitical Lineage:</b><br>As a descendant of Levi, Tebaliah was part of the tribe set apart for religious service. The Levites were not given a territorial inheritance like the other tribes of Israel; instead, their inheritance was the Lord Himself, and they were supported by the tithes and offerings of the people. This special status underscored the Levites' dedication to the spiritual well-being of the nation.<br><br><b>Role and Significance:</b><br>While Tebaliah's specific duties are not detailed beyond his position as a gatekeeper, his inclusion in the genealogical records emphasizes the importance of each member of the Levitical family in the functioning of the temple. The meticulous recording of names in the Chronicles reflects the value placed on heritage and the continuity of service to God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br>The mention of Tebaliah, though brief, serves as a reminder of the communal and intergenerational nature of worship in ancient Israel. Each individual, regardless of their specific role, contributed to the larger purpose of glorifying God and maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Levites, including Tebaliah, were integral to this mission, serving as mediators between God and Israel.<br><br>In summary, Tebaliah's presence in the biblical record, though limited to a genealogical mention, highlights the structured and sacred nature of temple service in Israelite society. His role as a gatekeeper underscores the importance of order, reverence, and dedication in the worship of God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tebaliah</span><p>baptism, or goodness, of the Lord<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tebaliah</span><p>(<i>purified</i>), third son of Hosah of the children of Merari.
