**old and full of days.** Compare Abraham ([Genesis 25:8](../../../kjv/genesis/25/8) ), and Isaac ([Genesis 35:29](../../../kjv/genesis/35/29) ). David horn in 990. Now in his seventieth year.
**full of** = satisfied with.
**made Solomon his son king.** During his lifetime. This was a common practice in those days; and these co-regnant kings explain many chronological problems.

**thirty years.** According to [Numbers 4:3](../../../kjv/numbers/4/3) , [Numbers 4:23](../../../kjv/numbers/4/23) , [Numbers 4:35](../../../kjv/numbers/4/35) , [Numbers 4:47](../../../kjv/numbers/4/47) , Changed to twenty-five years by Jehovah ([Numbers 8:24](../../../kjv/numbers/8/24) ); and, by David's "last words", to twenty years ([1 Chronicles 23:27](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/23/27) ). Compare [Ezra 3:8](../../../kjv/ezra/3/8) .
**man** = strong man. Hebrew. *geber.* App-14 .

**set forward** = oversee.
**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .

**four thousand. . . . porters.** In [1 Chronicles 2](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/2) 6 we have the ninety-three chiefs. The 212 in [1 Chronicles 9:22](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/9/22) pertained to the Tabernacle, not to the Temple ([1 Chronicles 9:21](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/9/21) ).

**courses:** or classes. See note on [1 Chronicles 24:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/24/1) , &c.

**Amram.** Compare [Exodus 6:20](../../../kjv/exodus/6/20) .
**Aaron and Moses.** See note on [Exodus 6:20](../../../kjv/exodus/6/20) .

**the man of God.** See [Psalms 90](../../../kjv/psalms/90) , title. App-49 .
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* (with Art.) = the [true] God. App-4 .

**Shebuel.** See note on [Judges 18:30](../../../kjv/judges/18/30) . The Chaldee paraphrase asserts that this name "Shebuel" (which means "he returned to *'El,* the true God") was given to Jonathan after he had returned to the fear of the Lord.
**chief** = head.

**first** = head.

**brethren:** or kinsmen.
**took:** i.e. by lot.

**the** = these.

**office** = station.
**in** = over.

**Both** = And. See note above.
**meat offering** = meal offering. Hebrew. *minha.* App-43 .
**measure and size.** The standards were committed to the Levites. Honesty in dealing is part of true religion. Compare [Leviticus 19:36](../../../kjv/leviticus/19/36) . [Deuteronomy 25:15](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/25/15) .[Proverbs 11:1](../../../kjv/proverbs/11/1) ; [Proverbs 16:11](../../../kjv/proverbs/16/11) ; [Proverbs 20:23](../../../kjv/proverbs/20/23) .[Micah 6:11](../../../kjv/micah/6/11) . If this be so in the secular sphere, how much more in sacred things.

**offer** = offer up. Hebrew. *'alah.* App-43 .
**set feasts.** Compare [Numbers 28](../../../kjv/numbers/28) and [Numbers 29](../../../kjv/numbers/29) .

**keep the charge.** This is the idiom of the Pentateuch. Compare [Genesis 26:5](../../../kjv/genesis/26/5) .[Numbers 18:3-5](../../../kjv/numbers/18/3-5) .
