Overview
Lebanah (also spelled Lebana) is mentioned in the registry of temple servants who returned from exile under Zerubbabel's leadership around 538 BC. These Nethinim were dedicated to assisting the Levites in temple service and maintenance. His family's return demonstrates God's faithfulness in preserving a remnant for continued worship.
Key Scriptures
"The Nethinim: the descendants of Ziha, the descendants of Hasupha, the descendants of Tabbaoth, the descendants of Keros, the descendants of Siaha, the descendants of Padon, the descendants of Lebana..." (Ezra 2:43-48, NASB)
"And the Nethinim and the children of Solomon's servants, all two hundred ninety and two." (Ezra 2:58, KJV)
Application
Remember that God uses faithful servants in both visible and behind-the-scenes roles to accomplish His purposes—Lebanah's family's return reminds us that every believer's service in God's kingdom matters.
