Chronicles Chapter Six
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 6
This
chapter begins with the fathers and heads of the tribe of Levi
1 Chronicles 6:1
and reckons up the high priests in the line of Eleazar
to the Babylonish
captivity
1 Chronicles 6:4 gives
an account of the families of the sons of Levi
1 Chronicles 6:16
and of those Levites that were employed as singers
and in other ministrations
in the sanctuary in the times of David and Solomon
1 Chronicles 6:31
then follows a repetition of the sons of Aaron in the line of Eleazar
to the
said times
1 Chronicles 6:50
and a recital of the dwelling places of the Levites in the several tribes
1 Chronicles 6:54.
1 Chronicles
6:1 The sons of
Levi were Gershon
Kohath
and Merari.
YLT
1Sons of Levi: Gershon
Kohath
and Merari.
The sons of Levi
.... After an account of the chief of the
tribes of Judah and Simeon
of Reuben
Gad
and the half tribe of Manasseh
follows that of Levi
and his posterity; the kingdom being given to Judah
the
birthright to Joseph
and the priesthood to Levi: the immediate sons of Levi
were
Gershon
Kohath
and Merari; as in Genesis 46:11
from
these sprung the three families of the Levites.
1 Chronicles
6:2 2 The
sons of Kohath were Amram
Izhar
Hebron
and Uzziel.
YLT
2And the sons of Kohath;
Amram
Izhar
and Hebron
and Uzziel.
And the sons of Kohath; Amram
Izhar
and Hebron
and Uzziel
.... Given in
the same order as in Exodus 6:18; see
Gill on Exodus 6:18.
1 Chronicles
6:3 3 The
children of Amram were Aaron
Moses
and Miriam. And the sons of Aaron were
Nadab
Abihu
Eleazar
and Ithamar.
YLT
3And sons of Amram: Aaron
and Moses
and Miriam. And sons of Aaron: Nadab
and Abihu
Eleazar
and
Ithamar.
Verses 3-15
And the children of Amram
Aaron
and Moses
and Miriam
.... Very
memorable persons: Aaron was the high priest
Moses the prophet and lawgiver
and Miriam a prophetess
see Micah 6:4
the sons also of Aaron
Nadab and Abihu
Eleazar and Ithamar; the two first
were destroyed by fire from heaven for offering strange fire
Leviticus 10:1 and
the third succeeded his father in the high priesthood; the line of which is
drawn from Aaron through him unto the Babylonish captivity
from hence to the
end of the fifteenth verse
where it ends: Jehozadak is the same with Josedech
Haggai 1:1 who went
young into Babylon
and whose son Joshua
born in the captivity
came out of it
on the proclamation of Cyrus
Ezra 2:2. According
to JosephusF5Antiqu. l. 5. c. 11. sect. 5.
and other Jewish
writersF6Juchasin
fol. 136. 1.
in the times of Uzzi
1 Chronicles 6:6
the priesthood was translated into the family of Ithamar
of which Eli was the
first high priest; where it continued to the times of Solomon
when it was
restored to Zadok
of the line of Eleazar. It is particularly observed of
Azariah
1 Chronicles 6:10
that he it was that executed the priest's office in the temple built by
Solomon; not that he was the first that officiated in it
that was Zadok; but
this seems to be Azariah
who was the high priest in the times of Uzziah
who
opposed him when he would have offered incense in the temple
2 Chronicles 26:17
which may be the reason why he is so particularly taken notice of here; though
some think this is to be understood of Johanan
the father of Azariah
supposed
to the same with Jehoiada
who
in the times of Athaliah
was the instrument of
preserving both church and state
2 Kings 11:4
the
temple in which he ministered is described as built by Solomon
because at the
time of the writing of this there was another temple built
or building
by
Zerubbabel.

begot Seraiah
and Seraiah begot Jehozadak.
YLT
14and Azariah begat Seraiah
and Seraiah begat Jehozadak;

6:15 15 Jehozadak
went into captivity when the Lord carried Judah and
Jerusalem into captivity by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.
YLT

from the
resting of the ark
And these are they
.... Who follow; the account of whom begins 1 Chronicles 6:33
whom David set over the service of the song in the house of the
Lord: whom he appointed chief musicians
and masters of the chorus
to
manage and conduct that part of divine service in the sanctuary
singing the
praises of God
both with vocal and instrumental music:
after the ark had rest; which was when it was
brought from the house of Obededom to the city of David
and was placed in a
tabernacle he provided for it
2 Samuel 6:12
where it remained until the temple was built
when and which was the only time
it was removed
whereas before it had been removed from place to place
and so
till now had no rest; though some understand this of the ceasing or silence of
the oracle over the ark
which was neither consulted by Solomon and his
successors
nor any of the high priests afterwardsF7Vid. Marsham.
Canon. Chron. Setul. 14. p. 365. .
1 Chronicles 6:32 32 They were ministering with
music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting
until Solomon had
built the house of the Lord
in Jerusalem
and they served in their office according to their order.
YLT
32and they are ministering
before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting
in song
till the building by
Solomon of the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they stand according to their
ordinance over their service.
And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacles
of the congregation with singing
.... Psalms
hymns
and
spiritual songs; this service they performed before the ark
which was in a
tent or tabernacle David pitched for it; and which the Targum here calls the tabernacle
of time
or a temporary tabernacle:
until Solomon had built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem; the temple
there:
and then they waited on their office according to their order; performed it
in the manner prescribed by David
see 1 Chronicles 25:1.
1 Chronicles 6:33 33 And these are the
ones who ministered with their sons: Of the sons of the Kohathites were
Heman the singer
the son of Joel
the son of Samuel

standing
and their sons: of the sons of the Kohathite: Heman the singer
son
of Joel

who officiated in the service of singing psalms in the

of the sons of the Kohathites
Heman a singer; the chief of
the singers
and who composed psalms and hymns
which are in the book of
Psalms:
the son of Joel
the son of Shemuel; or Samuel. This Heman

as he was a descendant from the same original ancestor
Levi
yet in the line of Gershon; and as being of the same office
a precentor

YLT
48And their brethren the
Levites are put to all the service of the tabernacle of the house of God.
Their brethren also the Levites
.... Who were not skilled
in singing
and employed in that service
even the rest of the Kohathites
Gershonites
and Merarites:
were appointed unto all manner of service of the tabernacle of the
house of God; some were porters at the gates; others had the care of the
vessels; others slew the beasts for sacrifices
flayed them
and cut them up
and brought the pieces to the altar of burnt offerings
for the priests to
offer.
1 Chronicles 6:49 49 But Aaron and his sons
offered sacrifices on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense
for all the work of the Most Holy Place
and to make atonement for
Israel
according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
YLT
49And Aaron and his sons are
making perfume on the altar of the burnt-offering
and on the altar of the
perfume
for all the work of the holy of holies
and to make atonement for
Israel
according to all that Moses servant of God commanded.
Verses 49-53
But Aaron and his sons
.... Those that descended
from him
though of the same tribe of Levi were all priests:
and they offered upon the altar of burnt offerings; the daily
sacrifice
and all the offerings of the people brought to them:
and on the altar of incense; they burnt incense night
and morning: and were appointed
for all the work of the place most holy; such as were
high priests of the line of Eleazar
whose work it was to go into the most holy
place once a year:
to make atonement for all Israel
according to all that Moses the
servant of God commanded; in Leviticus 16:1
which see; and on mention of this
a list of the high priests from Aaron
in
the line of Eleazar
is given
to the times of Solomon
in the four following
verses
just in the same order as in 1 Chronicles 6:4.
1 Chronicles 6:50 50 Now these are the
sons of Aaron: Eleazar his son
Phinehas his son

1 Chronicles 6:54 54 Now these are their
dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory
for they were given
by lot to the sons of Aaron
of the family of the Kohathites:
YLT
54And these [are] their
dwellings
throughout their towers
in their borders
of the sons of Aaron
of
the family of the Kohathite
for theirs was the lot;
Now these are their dwelling places
.... The dwelling places
of the priests and Levites
assigned and given to them in the several tribes of
Israel; and the account of them agrees with that in Joshua 21:1 with
some few variations of names of places
which have been there observed: see the
notes there; only in 1 Chronicles 6:57 two
cities are omitted
Juttah and Gibeon
through want of care in transcribing
since they are said to be "thirteen"
as they should be
whereas
eleven only are mentioned. The Jews sayF8T. Bab. Sotah
fol. 48. 2.
the cities of the suburbs (those here mentioned) ceased from the time the
first temple was destroyed; and yet Ezra
who lived after the captivity
and
the building the second temple
here gives a very particular account of them;
the suburbs belonging to every city
which he particularly mentions
were 2000
cubits
both to the cities of refuge
and the rest
Numbers 35:5
Hebron
the first city mentioned in the next verse
was a city of refuge
and
had suburbs of such a space; and it is remarkable
that some of the temples
with the Heathens
which were asylums
or places of refuge
had the space of
2000 paces assigned them for the same sanctity and privilegeF9Tacit.
Annal. l. 3. c. 62. .
1 Chronicles 6:55 55 They gave them Hebron in
the land of Judah
with its surrounding common-lands.

and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

of the tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half the
tribe of Manasseh.
YLT

from the half of the tribe
the half of
Manasseh
by lot
[are] ten cities.

throughout their families
they gave thirteen cities from the
