Hashabiah, a Levite, is mentioned here as a leader, indicating his role in overseeing the Levitical duties. The Levites were responsible for the care of the sanctuary and assisting the priests, who were descendants of Aaron. Hashabiah's lineage, being the son of Kemuel, suggests a respected family within the tribe, possibly indicating a hereditary position of leadership. The name Hashabiah means "Yahweh has considered," reflecting a common practice of naming that acknowledges God's providence. The Levites' role is crucial in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel, and their leadership is often highlighted in the Old Testament, as seen in <a href="/numbers/3-6.htm">Numbers 3:6-13</a>, where the Levites are given to Aaron to assist in the priestly duties.<p><b>over Aaron was Zadok;</b><br>Zadok was a prominent priest during the reigns of David and Solomon. His appointment over Aaron signifies his high priestly role, as Aaron's descendants were the only ones eligible for the priesthood. Zadok's lineage is traced back to Eleazar, Aaron's son, which legitimizes his position. He is known for his loyalty to King David during Absalom's rebellion and later to Solomon during Adonijah's attempt to seize the throne (<a href="/2_samuel/15-24.htm">2 Samuel 15:24-29</a>, <a href="/1_kings/1-32.htm">1 Kings 1:32-35</a>). Zadok's priesthood is significant as it represents a faithful and legitimate continuation of the Aaronic line, contrasting with the line of Eli, which was rejected due to corruption (<a href="/1_samuel/2-27.htm">1 Samuel 2:27-36</a>). The name Zadok means "righteous," and he is often seen as a type of Christ, the ultimate High Priest, who is both righteous and faithful. His role in anointing Solomon prefigures the anointing of Jesus as the eternal King and Priest.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hashabiah.htm">Hashabiah</a></b><br>A Levite leader mentioned in this passage, Hashabiah was responsible for overseeing the Levites.
