Because of the repetition of names in these lists it is possible that the names have become disordered through scribal errors and that these all represent the same person. 4 A Levite member of the Shelomoth family of the Izharite clan (1Chr 24:22). 5 A Levite of the clan of Merari who helped repair the Temple during King Josiah’s reforms (ca. 621 BCE). 6 A descendant of Judah of the clan of the Zorathites (1Chr 4:2).
