Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 24:26

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26The sons of Merari - It is remarkable that not a word is here spoken of the family of Gershom.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 26The sons of Jaaziah, Beno - Beno is not really a name. It is the Hebrew for “his son,” and is to be attached to Jaaziah. Translate 1 Chronicles 24:27, “and the sons of Merari by Jaaziah his son (were) Shoham and Zaccur, and Ibri.” The meaning of the whole passage 1 Chronicles 24:26-30 seems to be that there were three branches of the Merarites the Beni-Mahli, the Beni-Mushi, and the Beni-Jaaziah.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 20-31The other family leaders might refer to tribe members who were not priests but had been documented (see 1 Chronicles 23:6–23), or it might refer to Levites not mentioned before. However, most families were already in the previous list. Therefore, this list seems to be a separate, additional list that complements the earlier register of Levites, possibly updating it at a later time.Read the comment
