He is identified as one of the sons of Obed-Edom, a prominent Levite who played a significant role in the care and service of the Ark of the Covenant during the reign of King David.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context</b><br><br>Ammiel is listed among the descendants of Obed-Edom in the genealogical records found in 1 Chronicles. Obed-Edom is noted for his faithful service as a gatekeeper and for the blessings that came upon his household due to the presence of the Ark of the Covenant. The passage in <a href="/1_chronicles/26-4.htm">1 Chronicles 26:4-5</a> states: "Obed-Edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. For God had blessed Obed-Edom."<br><br><b>Role and Significance</b><br><br>Ammiel, as the sixth son of Obed-Edom, is part of a family that was richly blessed by God. The mention of Ammiel and his brothers highlights the divine favor upon Obed-Edom's household, which was directly linked to their service and proximity to the Ark. This blessing is a testament to the faithfulness and dedication of Obed-Edom and his family in their Levitical duties.<br><br>The role of Ammiel, along with his brothers, would have been integral to the functioning of the temple service, particularly in the responsibilities associated with the gatekeeping and safeguarding of the sacred spaces. The Levites, including Ammiel, were set apart for specific duties that supported the worship and religious practices of Israel, ensuring that the commands and ordinances given by God were upheld.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Ammiel's inclusion in the biblical record, though brief, underscores the importance of faithfulness and service in the life of a believer. The blessings bestowed upon Obed-Edom's family serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness to those who honor Him and His commandments. Ammiel's lineage and role within the Levitical order reflect the broader theme of covenantal faithfulness and the blessings that flow from obedience to God's will.<br><br>In the broader narrative of Scripture, Ammiel's mention contributes to the understanding of the Levitical priesthood and the significance of the Ark of the Covenant as a symbol of God's presence among His people. The legacy of Obed-Edom and his sons, including Ammiel, is a testament to the enduring impact of a life dedicated to the service of God and His purposes.<a name="nav" id="nav"></a><div
