About Hebron
Hebron was a son of Kohath and a grandson of Levi. He is mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites in Exodus, Numbers, and 1 Chronicles. Hebron's brothers were Amram, Izhar, and Uzziel (Exo.6.18; Num.3.19; 1Ch.6.2,18). His descendants were known as the Hebronites, who were assigned various duties in the service of the tabernacle and the temple (Num.3.27; 26.58; 1Ch.26.23,30,31). Some of the notable Hebronites included Jeriah, the chief of the Hebronites during the time of David (1Ch.23.19; 26.31), and Hashabiah, a leader during the time of David (1Ch.15.9).
