Misinterpretations often treat this as mere irrelevant genealogy detached from context, overlooking its role in David's reformed preparations for the Ark's transport; others might impose numerological significance on '200' as prophetic without biblical warrant, or wrongly apply it to modern church leadership hierarchies ignoring the unique Levitical covenant roles under the Old Testament law, thus missing the emphasis on collective obedience and historical specificity in restoring proper worship practices.
I Chronicles 15:8
King James Version (1769)
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
This verse lists Shemaiah as the chief from the sons of Elizaphan along with 200 brethren, part of David's organized assignment of Levites to transport the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, emphasizing the importance of proper roles, tribal representation, and reverent obedience to God's instructions after the earlier mishandling that led to Uzzah's death, ensuring the sacred procession reflects divine order and holiness in worship.
