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 Azariah, the son of Zephaniah
Gill identifies Zephaniah with Uriel and Azariah with Uzziah in verse 24. Joel here stands where verse 24 has Shaul. Heman's list and the Kohath list of verses 22 to 24 trace one family under different names.
