Who he was

Jehezkel is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 24:16 as the head of the 20th priestly division during the reign of King David. This chapter describes the organization of the priests into 24 divisions, each responsible for serving in the temple for a specific period. Jehezkel was chosen by lot to lead the 20th division. The priests were descendants of Aaron and were responsible for offering sacrifices, maintaining the temple, and performing other religious duties. The text does not provide any additional information about Jehezkel's life or his specific responsibilities as the head of his division. However, his inclusion in this list highlights the importance of the priestly role in the religious life of ancient Israel.
