1 Crônicas 23

XXIII.

After a brief notice of Solomon’s coronation in the old age of David, the chronicler passes to the main subject of 1 Chronicles 23-26, viz., David’s organisation of the Priests and Levites. The chapter before us presents (1) a summary account of the number and several duties of the Levites (1 Crônicas 23:2); and (2) the father-houses or clans of the Levites, with an appendix of remarks about their duties from this time forward (1 Crônicas 23:6).
