| I Chronicles 26:22
| The sons of Jehieli: Zathan, and Joel, his brethren, over the treasures of the house of the Lord.
| Brethren. Hebrew and Septuagint, "brother." In effect, we find that Joel was the son of Leedan, 1 Paralipomenon 23. --- Zathan, whose name ends in m both in Hebrew and Septuagint, may perhaps be his grandson. We often find sons in Hebrew when only one is specified. Jehieli might adopt his two brothers; so that none of his own children are mentioned. (Haydock) --- We may also translate: "(21) These are the sons of Ledan, the Gersonite. Out of Ledan, the Gersonite, came chiefs of families: Jehiel, (22) the sons of Jehiel, Zathan and Joel, his (Jehiel's) brethren, were over," etc. It appears that Jehiel was treasurer, 1 Paralipomenon 29:8.
