Next, through Eliezer, the second son of Moses, and through Rehabiah, son of Eliezer, (1Ch_23:17) we are brought to the fourJeshaiah, (1Ch_24:21, Isshiah ) and Joram, and Zichri, and Shelomith, who seem at first to mark four successions of generations upon Rehabiah, but who more probably (though it cannot be said positively) were four brothers, each a son of Rehabiah.
