About Shelomoth
Shelomoth was a Levite who served as a treasurer during the reign of King David. In 1Ch.26.25-26, he is mentioned as a son of Zichri and a descendant of Eliezer, son of Moses. Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of the treasuries for the dedicated gifts brought to the temple. These included the spoils of war dedicated by King David, the chiefs of the fathers' houses, and the commanders of the army (1Ch.26.26-28). Shelomoth's role was to oversee and manage these treasuries.
