Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 6:20

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20Of Gershom - The names in this list are curiously different from those in 1 Chronicles 6:41-43, which yet appear to represent the same line reversed. Probably both lists are more or less corrupted, and, as in many genealogies, omission is made, to reduce the number of the names to seven. Compare e. g. 1 Chronicles 6:22-28 with 1 Chronicles 6:33-38. Compare the other genealogy ties of this chapter; and see also Matthew 1:1-17.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 16-30The second introduction of the Levites (1 Chronicles 6:16–19a) presents the leaders of all the Levitical families (6:19b–30). The list includes the family trees of: Gershon (1 Chronicles 6:20–21) Kohath (1 Chronicles 6:22–24) Merari (1 Chronicles 6:29–30)Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 16-4816-48. The sons of Levi; Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.Read the comment
