1 Chronicles 24:1
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 24
This chapter relates the distribution David made of the priests into twenty four classes or courses, and which were observed by lot, and each course had an head or principal man over it, 1Ch 24:1 and of a like distribution of the Levites into the same number of courses, to attend the priests in theirs, 1Ch 24:20.
Ver. 1. Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron,.... Into the classes or courses following:
the sons of Aaron; Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; 1Ch 6:3, these were the immediate sons of Aaron; but the division or distribution of them into classes are of their posterity in the times of David, who descended from the two latter.
