דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק ל״ח

Tracing a family tree serves as a bridge connecting ancient ancestors to established historical eras. The lineage of the priestly family reaches its conclusion with the figures of Zadok and Ahimaaz. The record stops at this specific generation to bring the family history up to the establishment of the monarchy. Exactly which royal era marks the end of this list is a matter of perspective. One view suggests the record includes the priests who lived through the reign of King Solomon [רש״י]. Another approach argues that the lineage pauses slightly earlier, concluding during the days of King David [רלב״ג].

Following the completion of the family tree, the focus shifts to the territories and cities assigned to the priests. In this transition, the specific cities of Juttah and Gibeon are left out of the immediate record. They are omitted because the account relies on a broader summary rule that will be presented at the very end of the list [רלב״ג].
