Contextual Overview

¹ After David had lived long and was old, he made his son Solomon the new king of Israel. ² David gathered all the leaders of Israel, along with the priests and Levites. ³ He counted the Levites who were thirty years old and older. In all, there were thirty-eight thousand Levites. ⁴ David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand Levites will direct the work of the Temple of the Lord , six thousand Levites will be officers and judges, ⁵ four thousand Levites will be gatekeepers, and four thousand Levites will praise the Lord with musical instruments I made for giving praise." ⁶ David separated the Levites into three groups that were led by Levi's three sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ⁷ From the people of Gershon, there were Ladan and Shimei. ⁸ Ladan had three sons. His first son was Jehiel, and his other sons were Zetham and Joel. ⁹ Shimei's sons were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These three sons were leaders of Ladan's families. ¹⁰ Shimei had four sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moreover four thousand were porters,.... At the east, north, and south gates of the temple, in their turns;

and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments; were singers in the temple, which in all made up 38,000:

which I made, said David, to praise therewith; which instruments he devised and ordered to be made to praise the Lord with; see

2 Chronicles 29:26.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 23:5. Four thousand praised the Lord — David made this distribution according to his own judgment, and from the dictates of his piety; but it does not appear that he had any positive Divine authority for such arrangements. As to the instruments of music which he made they are condemned elsewhere; see Amos 6:5, to which this verse is allowed to be the parallel.
