Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe particular account of these establishments is of little use to us now; but, when Ezra published it, it was of great use to direct their church affairs after their return from captivity into the old channel again.
This site's exposition
these were the remaining descendants of Levi
on 1 Chronicles 24:20-31
A second census follows for “the remaining descendants of Levi”. Albert Barnes counts twenty-five family heads here against the twenty-four priestly courses, and the text leaves the difference unexplained. Verse 31 restates the method, since these houses also “cast lots in the presence of King David”.
This site's exposition
Jerahmeel the son of Kish
Jerahmeel son of Kish carries on the line of Kish, Mahli's second son. The sons of Kish married Eleazar's daughters, as 1 Chronicles 23:22 records. Matthew Henry says Ezra's publishing of these lists guided worship after the captivity.
