These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations, etc.] Even all before made mention of in this chapter: these dwelt at Jerusalem; always resided there, and did not in turns go into the country villages, as the inferior Levites did; their office requiring them to be constantly there, being chief of the porters, singers, etc. who had the superintendency and direction of the rest. Ver. 35-44. And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, etc.] Whose name is here mentioned, which is not in (<130829>1 Chronicles 8:29). Jehiel, whose wife’s name was Maachah; as there, but here called his sister, as a wife sometimes is, (<012002>Genesis 20:2,5 <460905>1 Corinthians 9:5). From hence to the end of the chapter is a repetition of the ancestors and posterity of Saul king of Israel; which is made to lead on to and connect the following history of the kings of Judah, begun in this book, and carried on in the next unto the Babylonish captivity, (see <130829>1 Chronicles 8:29-40), and the notes there.
