Context of 1 Chronicles 26:7

5Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. For God had blessed Obed-edom. 6Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men. Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers were Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men. 8All these were descendants of Obed-edom; they and their sons and brothers were capable men with strength to do the work—62 in all from Obed-edom. 9Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men—18 in all.
