Commentary
3 notes on this verseThese are the sons of Aaron - We have already had a list of these, (see 1Ch 6:3-16); this is a second, but less extensive, and is a proof that the writer of this book had several lists before him, from which he borrowed as he judged proper.
This site's exposition
the sons of Aaron; Eleazar his son
on 1 Chronicles 6:50-53
A second, shorter list of Aaron's sons repeats the priestly line from Eleazar down to Ahimaaz, the priest of David's own reign, without carrying it forward to the captivity as the first list did. Clarke reads the doubling as evidence the Chronicler had more than one older list in hand and drew on each where it served the record he was compiling.

proposed
The sons of Aaron - This list, a mere repetition of that in 1Ch 6:3-8, came, probably, from a different source - a source belonging to the time of David, with whom Ahimaaz (the last name on the list) was contemporary. The other list 1Ch 6:4-15 came, no doubt, from a document belonging to the time of the captivity (see 1Ch 6:15).
