Overview
Peulthai was a son of Obed-edom, a Levite appointed as a gatekeeper for the tabernacle during David's time. He served as part of the temple's administrative structure, maintaining the sacred space where God's people worshipped and encountered Him.
Key Scriptures
"And Obed-edom had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth; for God blessed him." (1 Chronicles 26:4-5, ESV)
Application
Peulthai's role reminds believers that all faithful service in God's kingdom—whether prominent or behind-the-scenes—is valued and blessed by the Lord.
