2 Chronicles 29:14 (KJV)

What does 2 Chronicles 29:14 mean?

2 Chronicles 29:14 lists specific men from the families of Heman and Jeduthun—Jehiel, Shimei, Shemaiah, and Uzziel—who were chosen to help in the temple service during King Hezekiah’s religious reforms. The verse simply records their names as part of a larger group being set apart for this important work.

This verse appears in a section where King Hezekiah is organizing the Levites for the cleansing and restoration of the temple in Jerusalem. The chronicler is carefully naming those who participated, emphasizing the involvement of particular families known for their role in temple music and worship. The mention of these individuals shows the detailed and orderly way the Levites were assigned to their duties during this significant moment in Judah’s history.
