G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 23:1-32

David's interest in building the Temple and establishing it as the center of worship and of the nation is not only manifest in the material preparation he made in amassing treasure, and carrying out preliminary work in getting the stones ready. He practically abdicated the throne to Solomon, that he might supervise arranging the order of worship. In this chapter the duties of the Levites are set out, and it is declared that this was among David's last acts (verse 1 Chronicles 23:27, margin). ... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 23:1-32

1 Chronicles 23:1 to 1 Chronicles 24:31 .

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. Now David here demonstrates that not only is he a powerful king, a leader, but he's also an excellent administrator. And of course, David had great personal wealth, and he had hundreds of servants that they all had to be fed. And so he had to administrate the, in very many areas, and David was just a very... read more

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.

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. The splendour of David’s kingdom required establishments. 1 Chronicles 23:6 . David... read more
