32And some of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
33And these are the singers, heads of fathers` [houses] of the Levites, [who dwelt] in the chambers [and were] free [from other service]; for they were employed in their work day and night.

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“An almost exact repetition of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38; and probably intentionally made by the author. In order to connect the genealogical section of his work with the historical, he re-introduces the genealogy of the person with whose death his historical section opens. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.

“9:35-44 The place of Saul’s family in the kingdom has already been established (8:29-40); the repetition of that material provides a transition from the genealogies to the narratives, beginning with the story of Saul’s death (ch 10).”

“am 2804, etc. bc 1200, etc in Gibeon: Ch1 8:29-40 the father: Ch1 2:23, Ch1 2:24, Ch1 2:45, Ch1 2:50-52 whose: Some editions read achatho, "his sister;" but in the parallel place Ch1 8:29, it is ishto, "his wife," which is also the reading of the LXX, Vulgate, Arabic, and Syriac here, and is undoubtedly the true reading. This repetition of part of Bemjamin's genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history. 1 Chronicles 9:36”

“The family of King Saul. - This register has already occurred in Ch1 8:29-38, along with those of other families of the tribe of Benjamin, and is repeated here only to connect the following history of the kingship with the preceding genealogical lists. It forms here the introduction to the narrative of Saul's death in Ch1 10:1-14, which in turn forms the transition to the kingship of David. The deviations of this register from that in Ch1 8:29-38, show that it has been derived from another document in more complete preservation than that in 1 Chron 8, which had been handed down in connection with other genealogies of the Benjamite families, and had suffered considerably in its text.
