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.

came to rest.
YLT
31And these [are] they whom
David stationed over the parts of the song of the house of Jehovah, 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,
YLT
33And these [are] those
standing, and their sons: of the sons of the Kohathite: Heman the singer, son
of Joel, son of Shemuel,
Verses 33-38
And these are they that waited with their children,.... They and
their posterity, who officiated in the service of singing psalms in the
sanctuary: the three heads of them were of the three families of the Levites,
as follow:
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
was grandson of Samuel the prophet; for whose sake his genealogy is traced up
to Jacob or Israel in the following verses, and stands thus; after Samuel,

Shimea,
YLT
39And his brother Asaph, who
is standing on his right -- Asaph, son of Berachiah, son of Shimea,
Verses 39-43
And his brother Asaph,.... That is, Heman's
brother; so Asaph was, 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,
or chief singer:
who stood on his right hand; he was next to Heman;
Heman stood in the middle, which was the most honourableF8"Alecto
stetit in mediis----", Claudian in Rufin. l. 1. ver. 41. Vid. Barthii
Animadv. in ib. , and Asaph on his right hand, and Ethan, after mentioned, on
his left; even Asaph, whose name is often met with in the book of Psalms; and his
genealogy here stands thus, as traced up to Levi, viz. Berechiah, Shimea,
Michael, Baaseiah, Malchiah, Ethni, Zerah, Adaiah, Ethan, Zimmah, Shimei,
Jahath, Gershon, Levi.

of Merari, on the left hand, were Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of
Abdi, the son of Malluch,
YLT
44And sons of Merari, their
brethren, [are] on the left. Ethan son of Kishi, son of Abdi, son of Malluch,
Verses 44-47
And their brethren, the sons of Merari,.... Who were
the brethren of the Kohathites and Gershonites, descending from the same
ancestor Levi: stood
on the left hand; that is, of Heman, see 1 Chronicles 6:39,
the chief of whom was Ethan, sometimes called Jeduthun, 1 Chronicles 16:41
and often in the book of Psalms; his genealogy is traced up to Levi thus;

1 Chronicles 6:48 48 And their brethren, the
Levites, were appointed to every kind of service of the tabernacle of
the house of God.
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, Abishua his son,
YLT
50And these [are] sons of
Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, Abishua his son,
1 Chronicles 6:51 51 Bukki his son, Uzzi his
son, Zerahiah his son,
YLT
51Bukki his son, Uzzi his

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.
YLT
55and they give to them
Hebron in the land of Judah and its suburbs round about it;
1 Chronicles 6:56 56 But the fields of the city
and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
YLT
56and the field of the city
and its villages they gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh.
1 Chronicles 6:57 57 And to the sons of Aaron
they gave one of the cities of refuge, Hebron; also Libnah with its
common-lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its common-lands,
YLT
57And to the sons of Aaron
they gave the cities of refuge: Hebron, and Libnah and its suburbs, and Jattir,
and Eshtemoa and its suburbs,
1 Chronicles 6:58 58 Hilen[j] with its
common-lands, Debir with its common-lands,
YLT
58and Hilen and its suburbs,
Debir and its suburbs,

Benjamin: Geba with its common-lands, Alemeth[l] with its
common-lands, and Anathoth with its common-lands. All their cities among their
families were thirteen.
YLT
60And from the tribe of
Benjamin, Geba and its suburbs, and Allemeth and its suburbs, and Anathoth and
its suburbs. All their cities [are] thirteen cities, for their families.
1 Chronicles 6:61 61 To the rest of the family
of the tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half the
tribe of Manasseh.
YLT
61And to the sons of Kohath,
those left of the family of the tribe, from the half of the tribe, the half of
Manasseh, by lot, [are] ten cities.
1 Chronicles 6:62 62 And to the sons of
Gershon, throughout their families, they gave thirteen cities from the
tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and
from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
YLT
62And to the sons of Gershom,
for their families, from the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher,
and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan,
thirteen cities.
1 Chronicles 6:63 63 To the sons of Merari,
throughout their families, they gave twelve cities from the tribe of
Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.
YLT
63To the sons of Merari, for
their families, from the tribe of Reuben, and from the tribe of Gad, and from
the tribe of Zebulun, by lot, twelve cities.
1 Chronicles 6:64 64 So the children of Israel
gave these cities with their common-lands to the Levites.
YLT
64And the sons of Israel give
to the Levites the cities and their suburbs.
1 Chronicles 6:65 65 And they gave by lot from
the tribe of the children of Judah, from the tribe of the children of Simeon,
and from the tribe of the children of Benjamin these cities which are called by
their names.
YLT
65And they give by lot from
the tribe of the sons of Judah, and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, and
from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, these cities which they call by name;
1 Chronicles 6:66 66 Now some of the families
of the sons of Kohath were given cities as their territory from the
tribe of Ephraim.
YLT
66and some of the families of
