Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Chronicles 25:1-31

4. The Singers and Musicians of the Temple CHAPTER 25 1. Sons of Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman (1 Chronicles 25:1-7 ) 2. Their division by Lot into twenty-four (1 Chronicles 25:8-31 ) As we have seen before, Asaph, Jeduthun (Ethan) and Heman were the master leaders in song and music; their service was eminently spiritual, for we read “they should prophesy.” Heman especially is called the king’s seer in the words of God. This is a significant expression. How much there is in what is termed... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:1-31

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 25:1-31

Gleanings 1 Chronicles 24-26 FROM the twenty-fourth chapter to the end of the book we find much that cannot be turned to spiritual profit, yet here and there we come upon single expressions which are very significant and beautiful. What we lose in continuity, therefore, we may gain in single values. Continuity is not the only excellence to be studied. The string is continuous, but the pearls which are hung upon it are single. Do not despise a single stone, a single flower, a single ear of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:2-31

The whole of what is here said of the order in which they were placed, and of the method taken to prevent jealousies arising from the natural infirmity of the human heart, may serve to teach us that in all ages man hath been the same; all striving for pre-eminency. How blessed that sweet direction of Jesus, had we but grace to practice it: Whosoever will be great among you let him be your minister: and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant! (and observe, Reader, what... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:8

Unlearned. Hebrew and Septuagint, "the scholars." (Haydock) --- After the singers had been distributed into twenty-four classes, pretty equal in number, lots decided which of then should serve first, (Menochius) as had been done with the priests, chap. xxiv. 31. See chap. xxvi. 13. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:9

Asaph. Add, "to him, and (Haydock) to his sons, and his brethren, twelve," who taught the rest. Unless these twelve be admitted, (Tirinus) as in the sequel, (Haydock) the number 288 will not be found, ver. 7. (Tirinus) --- Septuagint is very confused: "And the first (entire) lot of his sons and brethren came out to Asaph, of Joseph, Godolias: the second Enia, his brethren, and his sons, twelve." Hebrew, "the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph; the second to," &c. (Protestants) In all... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 25:8-31

Divisions of the Singers into Orders v. 8. And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. The lot was cast over the divisions or companies to determine their arrangement according to master and assistants, so that nothing was left to capricious choice. v. 9. Now, the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph; the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons, his companions in the art of music and singing, were twelve; v. 10. the third... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Chronicles 25:1-31

For the Chapter 25 passage and footnotes, see 1 Chronicles 23:1 ff.6. The Twenty-four Classes of Singers: 1 Chronicles 25:0.—And David and the captains of the host separated. “Captains of the host”(שׂרי הצבא) are those partakers in the legislative and judicial government of David who were designated, 1 Chronicles 24:6, merely as “princes,” 1 Chronicles 23:2, as “princes of Israel.” The designation explains itself from the conception of Israel as the host of the Lord (Exodus 12:17; Exodus... read more
