Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The genealogies of David's three chief singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan or Jeduthun.
Ch1 6:32
They waited on their office - On the establishment and continuance of the choral service in the temple, see Ch2 5:12, Ch2 29:27-30; Ch2 35:15.
Ch1 6:33
Heman - In general Asaph takes precedence of Heman and Jeduthun, but here Heman is placed first, because his family, that of the Kohathites, had the highest priestly rank, being the family which furnished the high priests (see Ch1 6:2-15).
Shemuel - i. e. "Samuel." Our translators have here given the Hebrew, while elsewhere they give uniformlv the Greek, form of the name. We learn by this genealogy that Heman was Samuel's grandson.
Ch1 6:39
His brother Asaph - Not "brother" in the ordinary sense of the term, since Asaph was the son of Berachiah, and a Gershonite, not a Kohathite. "Brother" here may mean "fellow-craftsman" (compare Ch1 25:7).
Ch1 6:44
Ethan - Or Jeduthun (see the margin). Corruption will scarcely account for the two forms of the name, since Ethan is used persistently up to a certain point Ch1 15:19, after which we have uniformly "Jeduthun." The case seems to be rather one in which a new name was taken after a while, which thenceforth superseded the old. Compare Abraham, Sarah, Joshua, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah, etc. |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
(6:16-34). The genealogies of the Levite musicians - Heman, Asaph, and Ethan. - These registers are introduced by an account of the service of the Levites about the sanctuary (Ch1 6:31, Ch1 6:32), and conclude with remarks on the service of the remaining Levites (Ch1 6:48, Ch1 6:49).
Ch1 6:31-32
(6:16-17). "These are they whom David set for the leading of the song in the house of Jahve, after the resting of the ark," cf. Ch1 6:20, Ch1 6:22. ידי על "upon the hands," "to the hands;" that is, both for leading, and, according to arrangement. To the hands of the song, i.e., to manage the singing, to carry it on, to conduct it. הערון ממּנוח, "from the resting of the ark," i.e., from the time that the ark of the covenant, which in the prae-Davidic time had been carried about from one place to another, had received a permanent resting-place on Zion, and had become the centre of the worship instituted by David, Sa2 6:17. "And they served before the dwelling of the tabernacle with song." משׁכּן לפני, "before the dwelling," for the sacrificial worship, with which the singing of psalms was connected, was performed in the court before the dwelling. The genitive מועד אהל is to be taken as explanatory: "The dwelling (of Jahve), which was the tent of the meeting (of God with His people)." מועד אהל was the usual designation of the tabernacle built by Moses, which was at first set up in Shiloh, then in the time of Saul at Nob, and after the destruction of that city by Saul (1 Sam 22) in Gibeon (Ch1 21:29). It denotes here the tent which David had erected upon Mount Zion for the ark of the covenant, because from its containing the ark, and by the institution of a settled worship in it (cf. Ch1 16:1-4.), it thenceforth took the place of the Mosaic tabernacle, although the Mosaic sanctuary at Gibeon continued to be a place of worship till the completion of the temple (Kg1 3:4; Ch2 1:3), - "till Solomon built the house of Jahve in Jerusalem," into which the ark was removed, and to which the whole of the religious services were transferred. In their services they stood כּמשׁפּטם, according to their right, i.e., according to the order prescribed for them by David; cf. 1 Chron 16:52ff.
Ch1 6:33-38
(6:18-23). "These (following three men, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan) are they who stood (in service) with their sons." The three were the heads of the three Levitic families, to whom the execution of the liturgic singing was entrusted. The names of their sons, vide Ch1 25:1-6. The object of the following genealogies is to show their descent from Levi. "Of the sons of the Kohathite family (is) Heman the singer." המשׁורר, ὁ ψαλτῳδός lxx. Heman is named first as being the head of the choir of singers who stood in the centre, while Asaph and his choir stood on his right hand, and on the left Ethan and his choir, so that when they sang in concert the conducting of the whole fell to Heman. His family is traced back in Ch1 6:33-38 through twenty members to "Kohath the son of Levi, then son of Israel" (Jacob).
Ch1 6:39-43
(6:24-28). "His brother Asaph," who is Heman's brother only in the more general sense of being closely connected with him, partly by their common descent from Levi, partly by their common calling, was a descendant of Gershon from his younger son Shimei. His genealogy contains only fifteen names to Gershon, five less than that of his contemporary Heman, probably because here and there intermediate names are omitted.
Ch1 6:44-47
(6:29-32). "And the sons of Merari their brethren (i.e., the brethren of the choirs of Heman and Asaph) on the left (i.e., forming the choir which stood on the left hand) were Ethan and his sons." As in the case of Asaph, so also in that of Ethan, וּבניהם (Ch1 6:18) is omitted, but is to be supplied; when the introductory clause "and the sons of Merari" is at once explained. Ethan is a Merarite of the younger line of Mushi (see above). The name of his father is here קישׁי, and in Ch1 15:17 it is קוּשׁיהוּ, which latter is clearly the original form, which has been shortened into Kishi. Instead of the name Ethan (איתן) as here and in Ch1 15:19, we find in other passage a Jeduthun mentioned as third chief-musician, along with Heman and Asaph (cf. Ch1 25:1; Ch2 35:15; Neh 11:17, cf. Ch1 6:41); from which we see that Jeduthun was another name for Ethan, probably a by-name - ידוּתוּן, "praiseman" - which he had received from his calling, although nothing is said in the Old Testament as to the origin of this name. His genealogy contains only twelve names to Merari, being thus still more abridged than that of Asaph.
Ch1 6:48-49
(6:33-34). "And their brethren the Levites," i.e., the other Levites besides the singers just mentioned, "were נתוּנים given for every service of the dwelling of the house of God," i.e., given to Aaron and his sons (the priests) for the performance of service in the carrying on of the worship; cf. Num 3:9; Num 8:16-19; Num 18:6. But Aaron and his sons had three duties to perform: (1) they burnt the offerings on the altar of burnt-offering and on the altar of incense, cf. Num 18:1-7; (2) they looked after all the service of the holy place; (3) they had to atone for Israel by offering the atoning-sacrifices, and performing the cleansings according to all that Moses commanded. This last clause refers to all the three above-mentioned duties of the priests. Moses is called the servant of God, as in Deu 34:5; Jos 1:1, Jos 1:13. |

After that the ark had rest - The Targum says, "These are they whom David set over the service of the singing, in the house of the sanctuary, or tabernacle of the Lord, at the time in which the ark was brought into it;" that is, when it was brought from the house of Obed-edom. |
19 So the singers [07891], Heman [01968], Asaph [0623], and Ethan [0387], were appointed to sound [08085] with cymbals [04700] of brass [05178];
44 And their brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] stood on the left hand [08040]: Ethan [0387] the son [01121] of Kishi [07029], the son [01121] of Abdi [05660], the son [01121] of Malluch [04409],
7 So the number [04557] of them, with their brethren [0251] that were instructed [03925] in the songs [07892] of the LORD [03068], even all that were cunning [0995], was two hundred [03967] fourscore [08084] and eight [08083].
39 And his brother [0251] Asaph [0623], who stood [05975] on his right hand [03225], even Asaph [0623] the son [01121] of Berachiah [01296], the son [01121] of Shimea [08092],
2 And the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955]; Amram [06019], Izhar [03324], and Hebron [02275], and Uzziel [05816].
3 And the children [01121] of Amram [06019]; Aaron [0175], and Moses [04872], and Miriam [04813]. The sons [01121] also of Aaron [0175]; Nadab [05070], and Abihu [030], Eleazar [0499], and Ithamar [0385].
4 Eleazar [0499] begat [03205] Phinehas [06372], Phinehas [06372] begat [03205] Abishua [050],
5 And Abishua [050] begat [03205] Bukki [01231], and Bukki [01231] begat [03205] Uzzi [05813],
6 And Uzzi [05813] begat [03205] Zerahiah [02228], and Zerahiah [02228] begat [03205] Meraioth [04812],
7 Meraioth [04812] begat [03205] Amariah [0568], and Amariah [0568] begat [03205] Ahitub [0285],
8 And Ahitub [0285] begat [03205] Zadok [06659], and Zadok [06659] begat [03205] Ahimaaz [0290],
9 And Ahimaaz [0290] begat [03205] Azariah [05838], and Azariah [05838] begat [03205] Johanan [03110],
10 And Johanan [03110] begat [03205] Azariah [05838], (he it is that executed the priest's office [03547] in the temple [01004] that Solomon [08010] built [01129] in Jerusalem [03389]:)
11 And Azariah [05838] begat [03205] Amariah [0568], and Amariah [0568] begat [03205] Ahitub [0285],
12 And Ahitub [0285] begat [03205] Zadok [06659], and Zadok [06659] begat [03205] Shallum [07967],
13 And Shallum [07967] begat [03205] Hilkiah [02518], and Hilkiah [02518] begat [03205] Azariah [05838],
14 And Azariah [05838] begat [03205] Seraiah [08304], and Seraiah [08304] begat [03205] Jehozadak [03087],
15 And Jehozadak [03087] went [01980] into captivity, when the LORD [03068] carried away [01540] Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] by the hand [03027] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019].
33 And these are they that waited [05975] with their children [01121]. Of the sons [01121] of the Kohathites [06956]: Heman [01968] a singer [07891], the son [01121] of Joel [03100], the son [01121] of Shemuel [08050],
15 And the singers [07891] the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623] were in their place [04612], according to the commandment [04687] of David [01732], and Asaph [0623], and Heman [01968], and Jeduthun [03038] the king's [04428] seer [02374]; and the porters [07778] waited at every gate [08179]; they might not depart [05493] from their service [05656]; for their brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] prepared [03559] for them.
27 And Hezekiah [02396] commanded [0559] to offer [05927] the burnt offering [05930] upon the altar [04196]. And when [06256] the burnt offering [05930] began [02490], the song [07892] of the LORD [03068] began [02490] also with the trumpets [02689], and with the instruments [03627] ordained by [03027] David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478].
28 And all the congregation [06951] worshipped [07812], and the singers [07892] sang [07891], and the trumpeters [02689] sounded [02690] [02690]: and all this continued until the burnt offering [05930] was finished [03615].
29 And when they had made an end [03615] of offering [05927], the king [04428] and all that were present [04672] with him bowed [03766] themselves, and worshipped [07812].
30 Moreover Hezekiah [03169] the king [04428] and the princes [08269] commanded [0559] the Levites [03881] to sing praise [01984] unto the LORD [03068] with the words [01697] of David [01732], and of Asaph [0623] the seer [02374]. And they sang praises [01984] with gladness [08057], and they bowed their heads [06915] and worshipped [07812].
12 Also the Levites [03881] which were the singers [07891], all of them of Asaph [0623], of Heman [01968], of Jeduthun [03038], with their sons [01121] and their brethren [0251], being arrayed [03847] in white linen [0948], having cymbals [04700] and psalteries [05035] and harps [03658], stood [05975] at the east end [04217] of the altar [04196], and with them an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] priests [03548] sounding [02690] with trumpets [02689]:)
32 And they ministered [08334] before [06440] the dwelling [04908] place of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] with singing [07892], until Solomon [08010] had built [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] in Jerusalem [03389]: and then they waited [05975] on their office [05656] according to their order [04941].
13 Remember [02142] the word [01697] which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] you, saying [0559], The LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given you rest [05117], and hath given [05414] you this land [0776].
1 Now after [0310] the death [04194] of Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] it came to pass, that the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], Moses [04872]' minister [08334], saying [0559],
5 So Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] died [04191] there in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068].
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Thou and thy sons [01121] and thy father's [01] house [01004] with thee shall bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the sanctuary [04720]: and thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of your priesthood [03550].
2 And thy brethren [0251] also of the tribe [04294] of Levi [03878], the tribe [07626] of thy father [01], bring [07126] thou with thee, that they may be joined [03867] unto thee, and minister [08334] unto thee: but thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall minister before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of witness [05715].
3 And they shall keep [08104] thy charge [04931], and the charge [04931] of all the tabernacle [0168]: only they shall not come nigh [07126] the vessels [03627] of the sanctuary [06944] and the altar [04196], that neither they, nor ye also, die [04191].
4 And they shall be joined [03867] unto thee, and keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], for all the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168]: and a stranger [02114] shall not come nigh [07126] unto you.
5 And ye shall keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the sanctuary [06944], and the charge [04931] of the altar [04196]: that there be no wrath [07110] any more upon the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
6 And I, behold, I have taken [03947] your brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] from among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: to you they are given [05414] as a gift [04979] for the LORD [03068], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
7 Therefore thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall keep [08104] your priest's office [03550] for every thing [01697] of the altar [04196], and within [01004] the vail [06532]; and ye shall serve [05647]: I have given [05414] your priest's office [03550] unto you as a service [05656] of gift [04979]: and the stranger [02114] that cometh nigh [07131] shall be put to death [04191].
6 And I, behold, I have taken [03947] your brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] from among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: to you they are given [05414] as a gift [04979] for the LORD [03068], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
16 For they are wholly given [05414] unto me from among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; instead of such as open [06363] every womb [07358], even instead of the firstborn [01060] of all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], have I taken [03947] them unto me.
17 For all the firstborn [01060] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] are mine, both man [0120] and beast [0929]: on the day [03117] that I smote [05221] every firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] I sanctified [06942] them for myself.
18 And I have taken [03947] the Levites [03881] for all the firstborn [01060] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
19 And I have given [05414] the Levites [03881] as a gift [05414] to Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121] from among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and to make an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: that there be no plague [05063] among the children [01121] of Israel [03478], when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] come nigh [05066] unto the sanctuary [06944].
9 And thou shalt give [05414] the Levites [03881] unto Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121]: they are wholly given [05414] unto him out of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
48 Their brethren [0251] also the Levites [03881] were appointed [05414] unto all manner of service [05656] of the tabernacle [04908] of the house [01004] of God [0430].
49 But Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] offered [06999] upon the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], and on the altar [04196] of incense [07004], and were appointed for all the work [04399] of the place most [06944] holy [06944], and to make an atonement [03722] for Israel [03478], according to all that Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of God [0430] had commanded [06680].
41 The son [01121] of Ethni [0867], the son [01121] of Zerah [02226], the son [01121] of Adaiah [05718],
17 And Mattaniah [04983] the son [01121] of Micha [04316], the son [01121] of Zabdi [02067], the son [01121] of Asaph [0623], was the principal [07218] to begin [08462] the thanksgiving [03034] in prayer [08605]: and Bakbukiah [01229] the second [04932] among his brethren [0251], and Abda [05653] the son [01121] of Shammua [08051], the son [01121] of Galal [01559], the son [01121] of Jeduthun [03038].
15 And the singers [07891] the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623] were in their place [04612], according to the commandment [04687] of David [01732], and Asaph [0623], and Heman [01968], and Jeduthun [03038] the king's [04428] seer [02374]; and the porters [07778] waited at every gate [08179]; they might not depart [05493] from their service [05656]; for their brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] prepared [03559] for them.
1 Moreover David [01732] and the captains [08269] of the host [06635] separated [0914] to the service [05656] of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623], and of Heman [01968], and of Jeduthun [03038], who should prophesy [05012] [05030] with harps [03658], with psalteries [05035], and with cymbals [04700]: and the number [04557] of the workmen [0582] [04399] according to their service [05656] was:
19 So the singers [07891], Heman [01968], Asaph [0623], and Ethan [0387], were appointed to sound [08085] with cymbals [04700] of brass [05178];
17 So the Levites [03881] appointed [05975] Heman [01968] the son [01121] of Joel [03100]; and of his brethren [0251], Asaph [0623] the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296]; and of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] their brethren [0251], Ethan [0387] the son [01121] of Kushaiah [06984];
18 And the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] were, Amram [06019], and Izhar [03324], and Hebron [02275], and Uzziel [05816].
44 And their brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] stood on the left hand [08040]: Ethan [0387] the son [01121] of Kishi [07029], the son [01121] of Abdi [05660], the son [01121] of Malluch [04409],

32 And they ministered [08334] before [06440] the dwelling [04908] place of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] with singing [07892], until Solomon [08010] had built [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] in Jerusalem [03389]: and then they waited [05975] on their office [05656] according to their order [04941].
49 But Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] offered [06999] upon the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], and on the altar [04196] of incense [07004], and were appointed for all the work [04399] of the place most [06944] holy [06944], and to make an atonement [03722] for Israel [03478], according to all that Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of God [0430] had commanded [06680].

31 And these are they whom David [01732] set [05975] over the service [03027] of song [07892] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], after that the ark [0727] had rest [04494].
