George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:27

Wars. Hebrew, "out of the spoils won in battles, which they had set apart as sacred, to support the house," &c. Septuagint, "that the building of the house of the Lord might not be retarded." (Haydock) --- Yet these spoils remained untouched by Solomon, who imitated this piety, as others did, 3 Kings xiv. 26. The Romans adored Jupiter Pr'e6dator, as he was styled, because part of the plunder was allotted to him. (Servius in Virgil, 'c6neid iii.) Irruimus ferro et Divos ipsumque vocamus In... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:28

Samuel, while he was at the head of affairs. (Menochius) --- Joab. Though these three were not very religious, they concurred in promoting the splendour of the public worship, as that would at least procure them applause. (Haydock) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:29

Them. Hebrew, "for officers ( shoterim, "scribes," (Haydock) whose power was very great.; Calmet) and judges." The former are often placed first, as more honourable, so that they were not mere heralds or executioners. The administration of justice was chiefly in the hands of the Levitical tribe, chap. xxiii. 4. The sons of Hebron resided on the east, while those of Isaar and Oziel probably acted as judges on the western side of the Jordan, ver. 30. (Calmet) --- They were not confined to the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:30

Beyond. Hebrew meheber means, "at the passage, or on either side." Protestants, "on this side Jordan, westward." This would seem to designate the countries nearer Jerusalem. (Haydock) --- But westward may also be understood with reference to Ruben, &c., so as to mean the parts along the river. --- King. To decide both ecclesiastical and civil causes. (Calmet) --- They also inspected the preparations for the temple, and gathered the king's tribute. (Grotius) read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 26:20-32

The Levites in Charge of the Treasures and the officers v. 20. And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God and over the treasures of the dedicated things, such gifts as were consecrated to the Lord as special gifts of thanksgiving by David. This general statement is now specialized. v. 21. As concerning the sons of Laadan (or Libni), the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli. v. 22. The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Chronicles 26:1-32

For the Chapter 26 passage and footnotes, see 1 Chronicles 23:1 ff.7. The Classes of Porters: 1 Chronicles 26:1-19.—To the Korhites was Meshelemiah. Comp. 1 Chronicles 26:14, where the name is Shelemiah. On the patronymic הַקֹּרָחִים, “the Korhites,” comp. 1 Chronicles 9:19, where also the names Kore and Abiasaph occurred. That “Asaph” is a slip of the pen appears from this, that, 1 Chronicles 6:24 ff., Asaph belongs to the descendants of Gershon, not, as the Korhites, to that of Kohath.1... read more
