Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 26:30

In all the business of the Lord - Every thing that concerned ecclesiastical matters. In the service of the king - Every thing that concerned civil affairs: see also 1 Chronicles 26:32 . Thus courts of ecclesiastical and civil judicature were established in the land; and due care taken to preserve and insure the peace of the Church, and the safety of the state; without which the public welfare could neither be secured nor promoted. Whatever affects religion in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:20-28

These verses describe those Levites to whom belonged the care of the treasures of the house of God and of the treasures of things dedicated , i.e. "dedicated to maintain the house of the Lord" ( 1 Chronicles 26:27 , 1 Chronicles 26:28 ). read more

Shebuel ( 1 Chronicles 23:16 ; 1 Chronicles 24:20 ), then, was the Amramite representative (and apparently a very special one in the office of נָגִיר , here attributed to him) through Gershom , the elder son of Moses. Next, through Eliezer , the second son of Moses, and through Rehabiah , son of Eliezer ( 1 Chronicles 23:17 ), we are brought to the four— Jeshaiah ( 1 Chronicles 24:21 , Isshiah ), and Joram , and Zichri , and Shelomith , who seem at first to mark... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:26

The treasures . The very first use of this word to signify a place where treasures were kept is in Joshua 6:19 , Joshua 6:24 . The same word is used for either the place or the treasures kept in it. Not found in the Books of Samuel, the word often occurs in the two Books of Kings and of Chronicles, once in Ezra, several times in Nehemiah, etc. In our next chapter ( 1 Chronicles 27:25 , 1 Chronicles 27:27 , 1 Chronicles 27:28 ) it appears in the Authorized Version as " ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:28

It is, perhaps, somewhat remarkable that, though the sacred history suggests to us numerous fit occasions for the "dedications" spoken of in this verse, yet they are not described in detail, nor even alluded to at the times when they occurred. Samuel, Saul, Abner, and Joab had then been unwittingly finding some of the treasures now disposed to highest use by David. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:29

Though the Authorized Version of 1 Chronicles 15:22 would make it appear very unlikely that the Chenaniah , a "chief of the Levites," here spoken of was identical with the present Chenaniah, yet the other translation of that passage, and the view that some take of it as describing one who had the special ordering of the carrying of the ark, would leave it more likely. For the officers and judges , see 1 Chronicles 23:4 ; 2 Chronicles 19:5-11 . The too generic term "officers" ( ... read more

Were officers among them of Israel. The simpler translation would be, were for the superintending of Israel (compare the verb in 1 Chronicles 26:32 ). On this side Jordan westward ; literally, across Jordan westward , the point of view being from the Persian side. So Ezra 4:16 ; Ezra 6:6 ; Ezra 8:36 ; Nehemiah 2:7 ; but also Joshua 5:1 ; Joshua 22:7 , when the point of view was that of those who had still to cross the Jordan to the west.
