Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:54-81

We have here an account of the Levites? cities. They are here called their castles (1 Chron. 6:54), not only because walled and fortified, and well guarded by the country (for it is the interest of every nation to protect its ministers), but because they and their possessions were, in a particular manner, the care of the divine providence: as God was their portion, so God was their protection; and a cottage will be a castle to those that abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This account is... read more

Now these are their dwelling places ,.... The dwelling places of the priests and Levites, assigned and given to them in the several tribes of Israel; and the account of them agrees with that in Joshua 21:1 with some few variations of names of places, which have been there observed: see the notes there; only in 1 Chronicles 6:57 two cities are omitted, Juttah and Gibeon, through want of care in transcribing, since they are said to be "thirteen", as they should be, whereas eleven only are... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 6:71-77

We shall see from Joshua 21:28 , etc., that several of these cities have different names. How barren to us is this register, both of incident and interest! and yet, as barren rocks and sandy deserts make integral and necessary parts of the globe; so do these genealogical tables make necessary parts of the history of providence and grace in the maintenance of truth, and the establishment of the Church of Christ. Therefore no one that fears God will either despise or lightly esteem them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:54-81

The writer returns upon his steps to give the cities and dwelling-places of the Levites, beginning with the priestly members of the Kohathite line ( 1 Chronicles 6:54-61 ), then taking those of the Gershomite ( 1 Chronicles 6:62 ) and Merarite lines ( 1 Chronicles 6:63-65 ) in order; and again in the same order disposing of the members not priestly ( 1 Chronicles 6:66-70 ; 71-76; 77-81) of the same three branches. read more

Unto the rest of the children of Merari. Since none have yet been spoken of as having received their cities, we find the explanation of these words in their order in Joshua 21:34 , "Unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites." To our list here, Jokneam and Kartah ( Joshua 21:34 ) need to be supplied, and Rimmon and Tabor here appear ( Joshua 21:35 ), there as Dimnah and Nahalai. read more

Bezer. The full description of the place is "Bezer in the wilderness, in the land of the Mishor" ( Deuteronomy 4:43 ), and "Bezer in the wilderness, in the Mishor," i.e. "the plain," or as some, "the downs" ( Joshua 20:8 ). This, as mentioned above, was one of the three cities of refuge east of the Jordan. Jahzah (Authorized Version, Joshua 21:36 , Jahazah ) . read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 6:56-81

The writer evidently had before him Joshua 21:0, which he followed, as to its matter, closely. In some cases he perhaps modernised the ancient names (1 Chronicles 6:58, 1 Chronicles 6:60, 1 Chronicles 6:72, etc.); in a few he substituted for the old an entirely new name, the modern apellation, probably, of the ancient site 1 Chronicles 6:70, 1 Chronicles 6:77. At one time, it would seem, his intention was to give the cities of the priests only, and to content himself with stating the mere... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:1-81

The Levites (6:1-81)Levi had three sons, Gershon, Kohath and Merari. The priesthood in Israel began with Aaron, who was descended from Levi through Kohath. From that time on, all Aaron’s descendants, and no others, were priests. This means that the Levites may be divided into four groups - the priestly Kohathites, the non-priestly Kohathites, the Gershonites and the Merarites.The Chronicler begins with the priestly line descended from Aaron through his son Eleazar, and traces the line to the... read more
