How preachers through history handled this text
4 public-domain excerpts on 1 Chronicles 23, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“David, having given charge concerning the building of the temple, in this and the following chapters settles the method of the temple-service and puts into order the offices and officers of it. In the late irregular times, and during the wars in the beginning of his reign, we may suppose that, though the Levitical ordinances were kept up, yet it was not in the order, nor with the beauty and exactness, that were desirable. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. 2 (Joshua to Esther), on 1 Chronicles 23:1–32 (Public Domain)
