Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Shebuel: The difference between שובאל [Strong's H7619], Shubael, and שבאל [Strong's H7619], Shebuel, simply arises from the elision of ו, wav and a change of vowels. 1 Chronicles 23:15, 1 Chronicles 23:16, 1 Chronicles 24:20, Shubael

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. This is the first time that any of the posterity of Moses are taken notice of, as being in any office of honour, authority, and trust; by the Targum he is said to be Jonathan, spoken of in

Judges 18:30 but very wrongly; this man, according to Jarchi and Kimchi, had all the treasures and treasurers under him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 26:24. Shebuel the son of Gershom — "Shebuel, that is, Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, who returned to God [שבואל shebuel.] And David, seeing him expert in money matters, constituted him chief treasurer." - T.
