Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - Rehabiah. He was the chief (הָראשׁ); but it happened that he was also the only son. Hence it is added in antithesis that his sons were very many (see the name again, 1 Chronicles 26:25). The non-priestly Amramites are therefore seen to correspond with the houses of Shebuel and Rehabiah.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief.--The word "were" (became) ought not to be in italics in the text, as it is expressed in the Hebrew.The chief (head) means founder and eponym of the clan the sons of Rehabiah.And Eliezer had none other sons.--Literally, And there became not to Eliezer ether sons, and the sons of Rehabiah had multiplied exceedingly (unto height, 1Chronicles 22:5). The clan Rehabiah was very populous.Thus (1Chronicles 23:16-17) the descendants of Moses were comprised in two father-houses, or clans, viz., Shebuel and Rehabiah.
