Contextual Overview

1 David built houses for himself in Jerusalem. Then he prepared a place for the Ark of God, and he set up a tent for it. 2 David said, "Only the Levites may carry the Ark of God. The Lord chose them to carry the Ark of the Lord and to serve him forever." 3 David called all the people of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He wanted to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he had made for it. 4 David called together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites. 5 There were one hundred twenty people from Kohath's family group, with Uriel as their leader. 6 There were two hundred twenty people from Merari's family group, with Asaiah as their leader. 7 There were one hundred thirty people from Gershon's family group, with Joel as their leader. 8 There were two hundred people from Elizaphan's family group, with Shemaiah as their leader. 9 There were eighty people from Hebron's family group, with Eliel as their leader. 10 And there were one hundred twelve people from Uzziel's family group, with Amminadab as their leader.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sons of Kohath - The order of the sons of Levi according to primogeniture is, Gershom, Kohath, Merari Genesis 46:11; Exodus 6:16. But the Kohathites, of whom came the priestly family of the Aaronites, had precedence in all respects. To them especially was committed the attendance upon the ark and the bearing of it. Of the six Levitical families mentioned 1 Chronicles 15:5-10 one only was descended from Gershom, one from Merari, and four (Uriel, Elizaphan, Hebron, and Uzziel) from Kohath.
