Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Shebuel Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Shebuel (or Shubael), mentioned in 1Ch.23.16, 26:24, and 1Ch 24:20, was a Levite who descended from Gershom, one of the sons of Levi. He played a significant role in the organization of the Levitical duties during the reign of King David. In 1Ch 23:16, Shebuel is identified as the son of Gershom and the head of the fathers' houses of the Levites. Later, in 1Ch 26:24, Shebuel is appointed by David to be in charge of the treasuries of the house of God, which included the dedicated gifts and offerings. This responsibility highlights Shebuel's trustworthiness and administrative skills in managing the temple's resources. In 1Ch 24:20, Shebuel is mentioned again as a descendant of Gershom, emphasizing his Levitical lineage. The text does not provide any further details about Shebuel's life or specific achievements. However, his appointment to oversee the treasuries of the temple demonstrates the importance of the Levites' role in maintaining and managing the sacred spaces and resources dedicated to God.
