The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were placed over the treasures of the house of the Lord. The verse stands within the arrangements for temple services and the affairs of the kingdom. That setting is David establishing worship and preparing for Solomon's temple.
The magnificence of that coming temple is shown by the vast treasure prepared for it, reckoned at about $2.84 billion in gold and $1.67 billion in silver. Beyond those sums were further stores of brass, iron, copper, and precious stones.
