1 Chronicles 6:49-53 -
These verses allude to the more special functions of "Aaron and his sons," as they are here called, i.e; his lineal descendants ( 1 Chronicles 6:4-15 ; Ezra 7:2-5 ), whose names, stopping at Ahimaaz, the eleventh generation, are the same with those of 1 Chronicles 6:3-8 . The manifest inference is that the present enumeration, stopping with the name of one contemporary with David ( 2 Samuel 15:27 ), was borrowed from tables of the date of David, and not of the date of the Captivity (veres 15).
