Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 24:1-19

The particular account of these establishments is of little use to us now; but, when Ezra published it, it was of great use to direct their church affairs after their return from captivity into the old channel again. The title of this record we have 1 Chron. 24:1?These are the divisions of the sons of Aaron, not by which they divided one from another, or were at variance one with another (it is a pity there should ever be any such divisions among the sons of Israel, but especially among the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 24:5

Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another ,.... Which course should serve first, and which next, and so on; and who should be the chief to each course; which course was to serve a week, and then go out; and this method was taken to prevent envy, strife, and contention about precedence: for the governors of the sanctuary ; or of the holy things, or who presided in things ecclesiastical: and governors of the house of God : or rather "governors of God", appointed by him... read more

And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe ,.... The Targum is, Moses the chief scribe, so called: one of the Levites wrote them : the lots, and the names upon them, put into the urn, and as they came out, which was first, second, &c.; and this was done before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites ; and in this public manner, before such great personages, and in the... read more

Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib ,.... And the other twenty three to the following persons in order: Jedaiah, Harim, Seorim, Malchijah, Mijamin, Hakkoz, Abijah, Jeshua, Shecaniah, Eliashib, Jakim, Huppah, Jeshebeab, Bilgah, Immer, Hezir, Aphses, Pethahiah, Jehezekel, Jachin, Gamul, Delaiah, and Maaziah ; of all which courses we know little more than their names, though they continued in some form or other both under the first and second temple, to the destruction of it; the Jews... read more

They divided by lot - This prevented jealousies: for, as all the families were equally noble, they had equal right to all ecclesiastical and civil distinctions. read more

And Shemaiah - "Moses the great scribe, who is called Shemaiah, the son of Nethaneel, of the tribe of Levi, wrote them down." - T. One principal household - for Eleazar - The family of Eleazar was the most illustrious of the sacerdotal families, because Eleazar was the first-born of Aaron, Ithamar's family was the second in order and dignity; therefore one of the principal families of Eleazar was first taken, and then one of Ithamar's, and thus alternately till the whole was... read more

Translate, And they divided them by lots, these with those ; i.e. as there was no ground of choice between the two families, which differed only in number, and as the highest ecclesiastical places had been filled already by both of them, the impartiality of the "lot" was resorted to, for the settling of the order in which they would take the services now in question ( 1 Chronicles 25:8 ). The governors ; read rather, the princes. The distinction intended between "the holy princes," or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 24:6

The person who acted as clerk or secretary on the occasion, and the whole number of the witnesses, and the lot-taking itself, are here given. The present Hebrew text repeats the word אָחֻז (taken) twice, before the name of Ithamar, at the end of the sentence. The evident and easy correction of the first occurrence of which into אֶחָד (one) will make the clause and sense correspond with what goes before. Bertheau, however, and Keil, and some others do not accept this correction, and... read more

Jehoiarib . Written thus only here and in 1 Chronicles 9:10 ; elsewhere always Joiarib. He then is the head of the first of the twenty-four courses of priests in David's time, and according to his plan. (For the evidence of the return of some of this family from the Exile, see Nehemiah 11:10 , though the text of this clause is very suspicious; Nehemiah 12:6 , Nehemiah 12:19 ; see also interesting article under this name, with tables, Smith, 'Bible Dictionary,' 1:946.)
