Contextual Overview

²⁴ These were Levi's descendants listed by their families. They were the leaders of families. Each person who was twenty years old or older was listed. They served in the Lord 's Temple. ²⁵ David had said, "The Lord , the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. He has come to live in Jerusalem forever. ²⁶ So the Levites don't need to carry the Holy Tent or any of the things used in its services anymore." ²⁷ David's last instructions were to count the Levites who were twenty years old and older. ²⁸ The Levites had the job of helping Aaron's descendants in the service of the Temple of the Lord . They cared for the Temple courtyard and side rooms, and they made all the holy things pure. Their job was to serve in the Temple of God. ²⁹ They were responsible for putting the holy bread on the table, for the flour in the grain offerings, for the bread made without yeast, for the baking and mixing, and for the measuring. ³⁰ The Levites also stood every morning and gave thanks and praise to the Lord . They also did this every evening. ³¹ The Levites offered all the burnt offerings to the Lord on the special days of rest, at the New Moon festivals, and at all appointed feasts. They served before the Lord every day. They were to follow the rules for how many Levites should serve each time. ³² So the Levites took care of the Meeting Tent and the Holy Place. And they helped their relatives, Aaron's descendants, with the services at the Temple of the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For by the last words of David,.... Or therefore by the last orders he gave before his death:

the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above; as able and sufficient to do the work of their office.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

By the “last words of David” some understand an historical work on the latter part of his reign, drawn up probably by Gad or Nathan (compare 1 Chronicles 27:24; 1 Chronicles 29:29). Others suppose that he left behind him a work containing directions for the service of the sanctuary.
