G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 24:1-31

With great care and perfect democracy of choice the courses of the priests were next set in order. There was a tactful mingling in the arrangement of the older and the younger men, so that in this highest and holiest national service the experience of age and the enthusiasm of youth were naturally inspiring. A description of these men in this chapter is very suggestive. They are called "princes of the sanctuary and princes of God." In neither half of the description is there any thought of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 24:1-31

1 Chronicles 24:1-Psalms : . 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-Obadiah : .

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 24:1-31

1 Chronicles 24:5 . They were divided by lot, into twenty four courses. David might perhaps have interfered, and promoted one of each course to be the overseer of the other priests; but he did more wisely in leaving it to the lot. So, according to Eusebius, all christian bishops in the early ages were chosen by the whole congregation, and by apostolical sanction. We find in Cicero, that the Athenians also divided their priests into courses. 1 Chronicles 24:10 . Abijah, or Abia, of whose... read more
