Shebna was the steward “in charge of the house,” likely the house of King Hezekiah. His position was second only to the king, and much was expected of him.

22:15, 16

• Shebna should have cared for the needs of Jehovah’s people

• He selfishly pursued glory for himself

22:20-22

• Jehovah replaced Shebna with Eliakim

• Eliakim was given “the key of the house of David,” which symbolized power and authority

Consider: How could Shebna have used his authority to help others?
