This lineage is significant as it highlights the continuation of the Levitical priesthood and the importance of maintaining genealogical records for temple service. The Levites were set apart for religious duties, and Rehabiah's mention underscores the meticulous organization of priestly families.<p><b>from his sons</b><br>The phrase indicates the continuation of the family line and the importance of progeny in maintaining the duties and responsibilities assigned to the Levites.

In biblical times, the firstborn often received a double portion of inheritance and had specific responsibilities. This mention may also imply that Isshiah had a significant role in the religious duties of the Levites.
