Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.
This site's exposition
the men David put in charge of the music
on 1 Chronicles 6:31-48
These are the men David put in charge of the music in the house of the LORD. Heman comes from Kohath's line through Samuel and Korah, Asaph from Gershom's at his right hand, and Ethan from Merari's on the left. Edersheim traces the office to the Levitical standing recorded here.
This site's exposition
the son of Zuph
Zuph is the ancestor named in 1 Samuel 1:1, and the district called the land of Zuph kept his name (1 Samuel 9:5). Mahath is Ahimoth of verse 26. Heman's pedigree here runs back up the line given in verses 25 to 27.
