The Levites were set apart for the service of the tabernacle and later the temple. The mention of Elizaphan's descendants highlights the continuity of priestly service and the importance of maintaining a lineage dedicated to worship and temple duties. Historically, the Levites played a crucial role in the spiritual life of Israel, serving as mediators between God and the people.<p><b>Shimri and Jeiel</b><br />These individuals are noted as descendants of Elizaphan, indicating their role in the religious reforms initiated by King Hezekiah. The inclusion of their names signifies their active participation in the cleansing and restoration of the temple. This act of service underscores the importance of individual commitment to communal spiritual renewal. The historical context here is the revival under Hezekiah, a time when the nation was called back to faithfulness and proper worship.<p><b>from the sons of Asaph</b><br />Asaph was one of the chief musicians appointed by King David to lead worship in the tabernacle. His descendants continued this legacy, serving as temple musicians and singers. The mention of Asaph's sons in this verse connects the reforms of Hezekiah to the Davidic tradition of worship, emphasizing the role of music and praise in the life of Israel. This continuity highlights the enduring nature of worship as a central element of Israel's identity and relationship with God.<p><b>Zechariah and Mattaniah</b><br />These names represent the descendants of Asaph who were involved in the temple's restoration. Zechariah and Mattaniah, like their forefather Asaph, were likely skilled musicians or singers, contributing to the worship and spiritual atmosphere of the temple. Their involvement illustrates the collaborative effort required for spiritual renewal and the diverse gifts needed within the body of believers. The historical significance of their participation reflects the broader movement of returning to God and reestablishing proper worship practices during Hezekiah's reign.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) <span class= "bld">The sons</span> <span class= "bld">of Elizaphan.</span>--Or, <span class= "ital">Elzaphan,</span> ben Uzziel ben Kohath (<a href="/exodus/6-18.htm" title="And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years.">Exodus 6:18</a>), who was prince of the bne Kohath in the time of Moses (<a href="/numbers/3-30.htm" title="And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.">Numbers 3:30</a>).
