**divisions . . . Aaron.** [1 Chronicles 2](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/2) 4 is concerning the courses of the priests, as [1 Chronicles 2](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/2) 3 is of the Levites. Compare [1 Chronicles 23:6](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/23/6) .

**children** = sons.

**distributed** = divided into courses, as in [1 Chronicles 23:6](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/23/6) .

**chief men** = strong men. Hebrew. *geber.* App-14 . Here denoting the heads of houses, or families.

**divided by lot.** See note on the Urim and Thummim ([Exodus 28:30](../../../kjv/exodus/28/30) ).
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* (with Art.) = the [true] God. App-4 .
**and of.** Some codices, with four early printed editions, Aramaean, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "and from among".

**the scribe** = the secretary. Compare [1 Chronicles 27:32](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/27/32) . See note on [2 Samuel 8:17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/8/17) .
**Ahimelech.** So that Abiathar had a son named Ahimelech, who assisted him, as Hophni and Phinehas assisted Eli.

**lot came forth.** See notes on [Exodus 28:30](../../../kjv/exodus/28/30) .
**Jehoiarib.** The twenty-four courses took, and kept, the names of these first heads (verses: [1 Chronicles 24:7-18](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/24/7-18) ). Each officiated a week (Sabbath to Sabbath), and Zacharias belonged to the eighth ([Luke 1:5](../../../kjv/luke/1/5) ). Compare [Nehemiah 12](../../../kjv/nehemiah/12) . Solomon appointed the same courses, which were continued by Hezekiah and Josiah. Only four returned from the Captivity ([Ezra 2:36-39](../../../kjv/ezra/2/36-39) . [Nehemiah 7:39-42](../../../kjv/nehemiah/7/39-42) ; [Nehemiah 12:1-21](../../../kjv/nehemiah/12/1-21) ). [Luke 1:5](../../../kjv/luke/1/5) shows that they must have been made complete.

**the orderings** = the appointments: i.e. the order in which they fulfilled their service was all of Jehovah.
**as** = according as.

**the rest of the sons of Levi.** Verses 20-30 give the names of the heads of the twenty-four courses of Levites enumerated in [1 Chronicles 23:6-23](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/23/6-23) .

**Jeriah.** Some codices, with eight early printed editions, Septuagint, and Syriac, read "and the sons of Jeriah", but the Ellipses are rightly supplied from Ch. [1 Chronicles 23:19](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/23/19) .

**Beno** = his son; Jaaziah being a third son of Merari.

**cast lots.** See notes on the Urim and Thummim ([Exodus 28:30](../../../kjv/exodus/28/30) . [Numbers 26:55](../../../kjv/numbers/26/55) ).
**over against** = equally with.
