Quick answer
From the Izharites comes Shelomoth, and from his sons, Jahath. The Levitical genealogy continues through the Kohathite branches.
Overview
The Izharites were one of the Kohathite clans of Levi (Exod 6:18-21). The Chronicler traces these lines to assign each its place among those who served the sanctuary. This meticulous record assured the post-exilic community that the men ministering in worship held genuine Levitical descent, safeguarding the integrity of God's appointed worship.
