Where Shabbethai appears in Scripture
אַךְ יֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-עֲשָׂהאֵל וְיַחְזְיָה בֶן-תִּקְוָה עָֽמְדוּ עַל-זֹאת וּמְשֻׁלָּם וְשַׁבְּתַי הַלֵּוִי עֲזָרֻֽם׃
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
וְיֵשׁוּעַ וּבָנִי וְשֵׁרֵבְיָה׀ יָמִין עַקּוּב שַׁבְּתַי׀ הֽוֹדִיָּה מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה קְלִיטָא עֲזַרְיָה יֽוֹזָבָד חָנָן פְּלָאיָה וְהַלְוִיִּם מְבִינִים אֶת-הָעָם לַתּוֹרָה וְהָעָם עַל-עָמְדָֽם׃
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
וְשַׁבְּתַי וְיֽוֹזָבָד עַל-הַמְּלָאכָה הַחִֽיצֹנָה לְבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים מֵֽרָאשֵׁי הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God.
