(6:35-38). The remarks as to the service of the priests are followed by a catalogue of the high priests, which runs from Eleazar to Ahimaaz the son of Zadok (cf. Sa2 15:27), who probably succeeded his father in the high-priesthood even in the time of Solomon. This genealogy is similar in form to the genealogies given in Ch1 6:20-30, and has therefore most probably been derived from the same source as this, and has been drawn in here to form a transition to the enumeration of the cities of the Levites; for it begins in Ch1 6:44 with the dwelling-places of the sons of Aaron, and the אהרן לבני...מושׁבותם ואלּה of Ch1 6:44 corresponds to the אהרן בּני ואלּה of Ch1 6:49. The order of the names coincides exactly with that of the longer register in 1 Chr 5:30-34. 1 Chronicles 6:54
