    God his help. (1.) "Of Damascus," the "steward" (R.V.,
    "possessor") of Abraham's house (Gen. 15:2, 3). It was probably

    and brother Gershom with Jethro when Moses returned to Egypt.
    (Ex. 18:4). They were restored to Moses when Jethro heard of his
    departure out of Egypt.
      (4.) One of the priests who blew the trumpet before the ark
    when it was brought to Jerusalem (1 Chr. 15:24).
      (5.) Son of Zichri, and chief of the Reubenites under David (1
    Chr. 27:16).
