Fausset's Bible Dictionary

 1 Chronicles 24:20;  1 Chronicles 26:24. Jehdeiah as head and representative of the class made up of Shubael's sons, and probably of his brothers also, alone is mentioned. In  1 Chronicles 26:24;  1 Chronicles 23:16, Shubael or Shebuel perhaps represents the family, for Jehdeiah was head of the family in David's time.
