Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Arthur Peake

1 Chronicles 24

Verses 1–31

1 Chronicles 24:1-19 . The courses of the priests (the sons of Aaron), twenty-four in number, took their turns in the service of the Temple, and each course cast lots for the particular place of service of each priest ( cf. Luke 1:8 f.).

1 Chronicles 24:20-31 . Another list of Levites; this is probably from a later hand; the names coincide to a large extent with those already given in 1 Chronicles 23:7-23, though some new ones are added.
