This lineage is significant as it ties the Hebronites to the Levitical priesthood, a tribe set apart for religious duties and service to God. The Hebronites' role in this verse underscores their importance in the spiritual and administrative life of Israel. Historically, Hebron was a significant city, often associated with patriarchal narratives, and the Hebronites' mention here connects them to a legacy of faithfulness and service.<p><b>Hashabiah and his relatives</b><br />Hashabiah, whose name means "Yahweh has considered," is a leader among the Hebronites. His mention, along with his relatives, highlights the importance of family and community in fulfilling God's work. The emphasis on relatives suggests a collective responsibility and unity in service, reflecting the biblical principle that ministry and leadership often involve familial and communal support.<p><b>1,700 capable men</b><br />The number 1,700 signifies a substantial group, indicating the scale and importance of their task. The term "capable" suggests that these men were not only numerous but also skilled and competent. This reflects the biblical value of equipping and empowering individuals for service, emphasizing that God's work requires both quantity and quality in human resources.<p><b>had oversight of Israel west of the Jordan</b><br />This phrase indicates a specific geographical and administrative responsibility. The area "west of the Jordan" was a significant portion of the Promised Land, and having oversight implies a role of governance and stewardship. This responsibility entrusted to the Hebronites highlights the integration of spiritual leadership with practical governance, a recurring theme in the Bible where spiritual leaders often have civic duties.<p><b>in all the work of the LORD</b><br />This phrase encompasses the religious and spiritual duties assigned to the Hebronites. "All the work of the LORD" suggests a comprehensive involvement in temple service, worship, and possibly teaching the law. It underscores the holistic nature of their service, where every aspect of their work is seen as an act of worship and obedience to God.<p><b>and in the service of the king</b><br />This dual role of serving both God and the king illustrates the biblical principle of serving earthly authorities as part of one's service to God. It reflects the understanding that civil duties and spiritual responsibilities are interconnected. The Hebronites' service to the king also signifies their role in maintaining order and justice, aligning with the biblical mandate for leaders to uphold righteousness and peace.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_chronicles/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(30) <span class= "bld">And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">As to the Hebronites, Hashabiah, and his kinsmen, sons of valour</span> (<a href="/1_chronicles/26-7.htm" title="The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brothers were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.">1Chronicles 26:7</a>), <span class= "ital">a thousand and seven hundred, were charged with</span> (Heb., over) <span class= "ital">the supervision of Israel on yonder side of the Jordan, westward, for all the work of Iahweh and for</span> <span class= "ital">the</span> <span class= "ital">service of the king.</span><p><span class= "bld">Officers.</span><span class= "ital">--P?quddah</span> (oversight, superintendence).
