Gill's Notes on the Bible

The sons of Levi,.... After an account of the chief of the tribes of Judah and Simeon, of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, follows that of Levi, and his posterity; the kingdom being given to Judah, the birthright to Joseph, and the priesthood to Levi: the immediate sons of Levi were

Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; as in Genesis 46:11, from these sprung the three families of the Levites.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The genealogy of the high priestly stem to the captivity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VI

The genealogy of Levi and Aaron, 1-30.

The offices of the priests and Levites, 31-53.

The cities assigned them, 54-81.

NOTES ON CHAP. VI

Verse 1 Chronicles 6:1. The sons of Levi — It has been well remarked that the genealogy of Levi is given here more ample and correct than that of any of the others. And this is perhaps an additional proof that the author was a priest, felt much for the priesthood, and took care to give the genealogy of the Levitical and sacerdotal families, from the most correct tables; for with such tables we may presume he was intimately acquainted.
