“6:2-15 After the Exile, the community of Judea, for whom Chronicles was written, needed to establish unequivocally the legitimate ancestry of the priests. This genealogy of Kohath established continuity between the ancestors known from the Pentateuch and the later high priests down to the exile of Judah in 586 BC; other records connected the priests following the Exile with this line (see Ezra 3:2; 7:1-6; Hag 1:1). Not all who served as high priest were included in this listing.”
