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 service of song
on 1 Chronicles 6:31-48
David set the singers apart only after the ark had rest, and their genealogies are traced with unusual care: Heman from Kohath's line back to Samuel and Korah, Asaph from Gershom's line standing at his right hand, and Ethan from Merari's line standing at his left. These three names stand behind dozens of Psalm titles, and Edersheim's Temple work traces the office to the Levitical standing recorded here rather than to any priestly rank. The Levites without a gift for song were not set aside; they were appointed unto all manner of service of the tabernacle, the roles Aaron's sons alone could not fill.
