Quick answer
The line of Eliezer, another son of Moses, is traced through several generations to Shelomoth. It sets up the next named treasury official.
Overview
Through Eliezer the genealogy runs Rehabiah, Jeshaiah, Joram, Zichri, and Shelomoth. The Chronicler records these descents to authenticate Shelomoth's appointment. Such attention to lineage underscores that service in God's house was carried forward faithfully across generations.
