1 Chronicles 15:10 Summary
This verse is talking about a group of people called the Uzzielites, who were part of the Levites, a tribe of Israelites responsible for taking care of the ark of the Lord. The ark was a special box that contained the Ten Commandments and was a symbol of God's presence with His people, as mentioned in Exodus 25:10-22. The Uzzielites, led by Amminadab, were helping to transport the ark to a new location, and their role was important in making sure the ark was handled with care and respect, just like the Israelites were instructed in Numbers 4:15 and Deuteronomy 10:8. By working together and following God's instructions, the Levites were able to fulfill their responsibilities and honor God's presence among them, as seen in 2 Samuel 6:1-19 and Psalm 132:1-18.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who were the Uzzielites and why are they mentioned in this verse?
The Uzzielites were a family of Levites, descendants of Uzziel, a son of Kohath, as mentioned in Exodus 6:18 and Numbers 3:27. They are listed here as part of the group of Levites who were helping to bring the ark of the Lord to its new location.
What was the role of Amminadab, the chief of the Uzzielites?
Amminadab was a leader among the Uzzielites and was responsible for organizing and overseeing the 112 relatives who were assisting with the transportation of the ark, as mentioned in 1 Chronicles 15:10. He is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 15:11 as one of the Levites summoned by David to help with the consecration of the ark.
Why did David need so many Levites to help with the ark?
David needed many Levites to help with the ark because it was a sacred and heavy object that required careful handling, as instructed in Numbers 4:15 and Deuteronomy 10:8. The large number of Levites, including the 112 Uzzielites, ensured that the ark was transported safely and with the proper respect.
How does this verse relate to the larger story of the ark of the Lord?
This verse is part of the story of David bringing the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, as described in 1 Chronicles 13-16. The ark was a symbol of God's presence and covenant with the Israelites, and its transportation to Jerusalem marked an important moment in the establishment of the city as the spiritual center of Israel, as mentioned in 2 Samuel 6:1-19 and Psalm 132:1-18.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 15:10
Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:10
(10) Of the sons of Uzziel.—Uzziel was fourth son of Kohath (1 Chronicles 6:2). Exodus 6:22 names three sons of Uzziel—Mishael, Elzaphan, and Zithri. The family of Elzaphan has already been represented (1 Chronicles 15:8). The term “sons of Uzziel,” therefore, in this verse represents the two other Uzzielite houses, which may have amalgamated in one. As Elzaphan is mentioned first, the elder line of Mishael may have become extinct. At any rate, 1 Chronicles 23:20; 1 Chronicles 24:24 imply the existence of only two Uzzielite stocks.
