Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 23:2

Partly to declare God’s mind and his own will, that Solomon should be his successor; and so to cut off the claims and pretences which others of his sons might make to the crown; and partly to acquaint them with those directions which he had received from God by the Spirit, as appears from 1 Chronicles 28:11, &c., concerning the establishment of a new order and method in the ministration of the priests and Levites in the temple. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 23:3

From the age of thirty years and upward; not only till fifty, as it was appointed, Numbers 4:2,Numbers 4:3, but even till their death; for that was but a temporary law grounded upon a special reason, because the Levites were employed in carrying the tabernacle and sacred vessels from place to place; and therefore God would have them freed from those burdens when they came to feel the infirmities of age; which reason wholly ceasing upon the building of the temple, and their work being far easier... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 23:1-32

Chapter 23And so David when he was old, made Solomon his son king over Israel ( 1 Chronicles 23:1 ).Now David then began to set forth the order of the priesthood, the Levitical priesthood.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 23:1-32

1 Chronicles 23:3 . Thirty years. So Moses had commanded. Numbers 4:3. But now it would seem from 1 Chronicles 23:24, that David numbered the levites from the age of twenty, the number at thirty not being sufficient. 1 Chronicles 23:4 . Twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house; not as officers, but domus ministerio, servants who performed the hard work for the priests.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 23:2

1Ch 23:2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. Ver. 2. With the priests and the Levites. ] These were most of all concerned in the following charge: but the princes and people were to be informed of it.
