Context — Genealogy of the Levitesgenerated

24Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.
25His relatives through Eliezer included Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
26This Shelomith and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.
27They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 26:25 provides a genealogy of the Levites, specifically detailing the descendants of Eliezer. This lineage is important for understanding the roles of these individuals in the religious and community life of Israel, particularly in relation to the temple and its services. The mention of their relationships underscores the continuity of priestly duties and responsibilities passed down through generations.

el-i-e'-zer, e-li-e'-zer ('eli`ezer; Eliezer, "God is help"):

(1) The chief servant of Abram (Ge 15:2); the American Standard Revised Version "Eliezer of Damascus," the English Revised Version "Dammesek Eliezer." The Hebrew is peculiar: literally, "And the son of the possession (mesheq) of my house is Dammeseq (of) Eliezer." A possible but unlikely meaning is that his property would become the possession of Damascus, the city of Eliezer. Targum Syriac (Revised Version margin) read "Eliezer the Damascene": this supposes a reading, "Eliezer ha- dammasqi" or "mid-dammeseq." The text may be corrupt: the assonance between mesheq and Dammeseq is suspicious. Abram calls Eliezer "one born in my house" i.e. a dependant, a member of his household, and so regards him as his heir, Lot having gone from him (Ge 13). Eliezer is probably the servant…

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Eliezer

God his help. (1.) “Of Damascus,” the “steward” (R.V., “possessor”) of Abraham’s house (Gen. 15:2, 3). It was probably he who headed the embassy sent by Abraham to the old home of his family in Padan-aram to seek a wife for his son Isaac. The account of this embassy is given at length in Gen. 24.

(2.) The son of Becher, and grandson of Benjamin (1 Chr. 7:8).

(3.) One of the two sons of Moses, born during his sojourn in Midian (Ex. 18:4; 1 Chr. 23:15, 17). He remained with his mother and brother Gershom with Jethro when Moses returned to Egypt. (Ex. 18:4). They were restored to Moses when Jethro heard of…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

1. Of Damascus, the lawful heir of Abraham, should he die childless, Ge 15:2. He is generally assumed to be the "eldest servant," who was sent, sixty-five years afterwards, to obtain a wife for Isaac, Ge 24:1-67. But as the name of the latter is not given; as Abraham had near relatives, Lot and others; and as there is no evidence that he ever lived in Damascus, some think Eliezer must have been a near relative of Abraham residing at Damascus; and that "steward of my house" and "born in my house"-literally son of my house, Ge 15:2,3-mean the same thing, the lawful family heir.

2. Several others of this name are mentioned, Ex 18:4

The Hebrew word שְׁלֹמִית (*Shlomiyth*) refers to several individuals in the Old Testament, primarily associated with the Levites and the tribe of Judah. It is derived from a root meaning 'peaceableness.' The entries note both male and female bearers of the name, including a Levite and a daughter of Rehoboam. There is a mention of a blasphemous son of a woman named Shelomith, which adds a narrative context.
