EXPOSITORY (ENGLISH BIBLE)

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) The sons of Hebron.—“Of” is wanting in the Hebrew here, as well as in 1Chronicles 23:16; 1Chronicles 23:18; 1Chronicles 23:20. The sons of Hebron comprised four houses, clans, or classes. Their names recur in 1Chronicles 24:23.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

23:1-23 David, having given charge concerning the building of the temple, settles the method of the temple service, and orders the officers of it. When those of the same family were employed together, it would engage them to love and assist one another.

Amram's next brother Hebron had four sons, and the youngest brother Uzziel two, who founded fathers'-houses; so that, besides the priests, nine Levitical fathers'-houses are descended from Kohath, and their chiefs who served in the sanctuary are enumerated in 1 Chronicles 24:20-25.
