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
Heman the singer, the son of Joel
Heman was Samuel's grandson through Joel (verse 28). 1 Chronicles 25:5 to 6 calls him the king's seer and records fourteen sons and three daughters who served under him in the music. Toah and Eliel here are Nahath and Eliab of verses 26 and 27.
