Contextual Overview

1 David became an old man, so he made his son Solomon the new king of Israel. 2 David gathered all the leaders of Israel and also the priests and Levites. 3 David counted the Levites who were 30 years old and older. All together there were 38,000 Levites. 4 David said, "24,000 will supervise the work of building the Lord 's Temple. 6000 will be court officers and judges. 5 4000 will be gatekeepers, and 4000 will be musicians. I made special musical instruments for them. They will use them to praise the Lord ." 6 David separated the Levites into three groups. They were the tribes of Levi's three sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7 From the tribe of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei. 8 Ladan had three sons. His oldest son was Jehiel. His other sons were Zethan and Joel. 9 Shimei's sons were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These three sons were leaders in Ladan's families. 10 Shimei had four sons. They were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now concerning Moses the man of God,.... Raised up by him as a prophet, admitted to great familiarity with him, a lawgiver from him, and the ruler and guide of Israel under him through the wilderness:

his sons were named of the tribe of Levi; were only common Levites; Moses had no ambition to gratify; he sought no honour for his posterity; the civil government was left to Joshua, and the priesthood to Aaron.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 23:14. Moses the man of God — "Moses the prophet of God," - T.
