Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 24:20
Ver. 20-30. And the rest of the sons of Levi were these,.... Who were not priests, only Levites; and from hence, to 1 Chronicles 24:30 their names are given; of the sons of Amram, Shubael, and his
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:20
The rest of the sons of Levi; either such as were only Levites, and not priests; or rather, such as were not named or numbered before in this or the former chapter. Jehdeiah; who being, as it seems, an eminent person, or having a very numerous family, was not reckoned with or under his father’ s family, but was accounted as a distinct head of another family.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:20
1 Chronicles 24:20 And the rest of the sons of Levi [were these]: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.Ver. 20. And the rest of the sons of Levi,] sc., Besides the priests afore mentioned; and besides the Gershonites set down before.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:20
(20) And the rest of the sons of Levi were these.—Rather, And for the sons of Levi that were left over; i.e., after the priests had been separately dealt with. The list begins with the Kohathite heads, omitting the Gershonites (1 Chronicles 23:7-11), perhaps owing to a lacuna in the chronicler’s MS. authority. Of the sons of Amram; Shubael.—For the sons. Shubael is a variant of “Shebuel” (1 Chronicles 23:16). The same variation recurs in 1 Chronicles 25:4; 1 Chronicles 25:20. Shebuel was grandson to Moses (1 Chronicles 23:16). Here the name represents a Levitical house or class, of which, in David’s time Jehdeiah (Jah gladdens) was the head. The name “Jehdeiah” occurs again in 1 Chronicles 26:30, and nowhere else in the Old Testament. (Comp. “Jahdiel,” God gladdens, 1 Chronicles 5:24.)
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 24:20
20–31 (cp. 1 Chronicles 23:13-23). Families of the Levites These verses repeat the list of Levitic families given in 1 Chronicles 23:6-23 with the important omission of the whole of the Gershonites (1 Chronicles 23:6-11), but with some additions to the Kohathite and Merarite families.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 24:20
The object of this second enumeration of the Levitical families (compare 1 Chr. 23:7-23) seems to be the designation of the heads of the families in David’s time.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:20
20. The rest of the sons of Levi — That is, those besides the priests just enumerated. These were connected more especially with the service in the temple, and were immediate assistants to the priests.
