Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son.
1 Chronicles 6:24 is part of the genealogical record of the Levites in the priestly line, naming Tahath and his descendants Uriel, Uzziah, and Shaul in a line of descent. It belongs to the long record of names in 1 Chronicles 4-19 dealing largely with chronology, which is often viewed as dry and uninteresting. The verse simply gives names and is an example of verses that state no expressed promise.
Such genealogies supplied proof of hereditary descent needed after the exile to assign land and maintain the temple service. They preserve the records of God's children and the integrity of the tribes. The genealogy of the tribe of Judah was kept especially carefully because Christ came through Judah.
The chapter's genealogical records show that God is particular and that a faithful record of every soul is kept in heaven. The names in these lists show that God remembers people individually even when they have been forgotten by others. That remembrance can give comfort to those who feel like failures.
