Summary

In this verse, we see the Levites being assigned specific duties in the house of the Lord by King David. The Levites were responsible for overseeing the work of the tabernacle, including the care of the sacred items and instruments used in worship. This division of labor among the Levites ensured that the worship of God was conducted decently and in order. It also highlights the importance of organization and diligence in serving God within the community of believers.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron,.... The priests: for the service of the house of the Lord; to assist them therein, and not to bear burdens as in times past; the Targum is,"wherefore the place of their habitations was by the side of the sons of Aaron, for the worship of the sanctuary of the Lord:" in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; to keep the house, and all the apartments in it, courts and chambers, clean, by sweeping and washing them, and carrying out all the filth thereof made by the sacrifices, and otherwise.
