I
Chronicles 24 – Division
Aaron’s
sons were priests, and they were divided into 24 groups. One group would come
and do their work under the direction of one of the sons, then another group
under the direction of another son would come and replace them.
When
the Levites changed shifts for the temple service it was done with precision
and order.
From
the time of Moses to the time of David, the Levites had increased from about
8,000 to 38,000. For this reason, David divided them into groups.
The
sons of Kohath were divided, and following them, the sons of Merari were
divided. David planned that each family would carry on the service of the
temple.
I
Chronicles 25
David
organized the singers the same way. They were divided by lot into twenty-four
groups. This would mean that twice each month there would be a change in the
service. Each of these would serve only
two weeks out of the year.
I
Chronicles 26
The
division of the porters were divided in the same way. There were guards placed
to watch the gates and were on duty 24 hours a day.
Every
gate was covered by guards.
The
treasurers were responsible for the vast store of dedicated things which had
been accumulating.
The
Levites were to be judges getting direction from God. This changed because of
the failure of the Levites. So, God raised up judges. Then we saw the failure
of the judges, so the people demanded for a king. David soon became king.
