Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The 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

the rest of the sons

on 1 Chronicles 24:20-31

A second census follows for the rest of the Levites, the singers' and gatekeepers' own kin, organized under the houses of Amram, Izhar, Hebron, Uzziel and Merari and counted by household exactly as the priests were. Barnes counts twenty-five family heads named here against the twenty-four priestly courses, one more than the pattern would predict, and the text itself does not explain the difference. Verse 31 closes the chapter by restating its whole method, that these houses too cast lots in David's presence and the older families drew no advantage over the younger, precedence settled by lot rather than birth.
