G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 26:1-32

In no particular did the arrangements of the king fall short. Not only Levites, priests, and singers were arranged for, but porters also, and such as had charge of all the stores set apart for the sacred work. These, moreover, were sons of the first of the nation, as well as of others less known; and the same principle of democratic selection is casting the lots-"as well the small as the great" took part. It is interesting in this section to note, moreover, how long men had looked forward to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 26:1-32

1 Chronicles 26:28 . Joab had dedicated the spoils of war. Cyrus set apart the tenth of all his spoils for the gods. It was much the same among the Jews: in a line from Abraham, who gave the tenths to Melchizedek, to Samuel, Saul, Abner, David, and his captains, we find a part of their wealth dedicated to the Lord. It was also our Saxon fathers who built the churches; yet we grumble and murmur at every penny we give to God’s cause, because we do not love him, nor his ministers as we ought. read more
