And to complete the trilogy:
1 Chron 27.31 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite.
His name meant “Shining.” Most of us have sometimes to do with camels, sometimes to do with asses, but oftenest, thank God, with the flocks of the Good Shepherd.
There was once an unhappy shepherd, Zechariah, who dismissed three under-shepherds in one month, and said, And my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me (Zech 11.8). We have a very different flock from that committed to poor Zechariah, and quite different fellow-shepherds. Are we half grateful enough for the joys of good fellowship?
Jaziz had a beautiful name–Shining. No dullness, no heavy-heartedness as he tended the flocks. God make us all to be Jazizes–happy shepherds, shining shepherds. (Amy Carmichael)
