3 public-domain excerpts on 1 Chronicles 6, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 1 Alexander MacLaren 1 John Wesley 1

“DAVID'S CHORISTERS They stood in their office, according to their order.'--1 CHRON. vi. 32 (R.V. margin). This brief note is buried in the catalogue of the singers appointed by David for the service of song in the house of the Lord.' The waves of their choral praise have long ages since ceased to eddy round the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,' and all that is left of their melodious companies is a dry list of names, in spite of which the dead owners of them are nameless. …”

— Alexander MacLaren, Expositions of the Holy Scriptures: Second Kings from Chap., on 1 Chronicles 6:32 (Public Domain)
