Context — The Plans for the Temple

19“All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.” 20David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you before all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

21The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of every skill will be at your disposal for the work. The officials and all the people are fully at your command.”

1	1 Chronicles 24:1–26	These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service. Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar. Thus they were divided by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants. The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar. The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. This was their appointed order for service when they entered the house of the LORD, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their forefather Aaron, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him. Now these were the remaining descendants of Levi: From the sons of Amram: Shubael; from the sons of Shubael: Jehdeiah. As for Rehabiah, from his sons: The first was Isshiah. From the Izharites: Shelomoth; from the sons of Shelomoth: Jahath. From the sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. From the sons of Uzziel: Micah; from the sons of Micah: Shamir. The brother of Micah: Isshiah; from the sons of Isshiah: Zechariah. The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The son of Jaaziah: Beno.
2	1 Chronicles 22:17–18	Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon: “Is not the LORD your God with you, and has He not granted you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before the LORD and His people.

1 Chronicles 28:21 Summary

[This verse shows that everyone was working together to build the temple, with the priests and Levites ready to do their part, and all the skilled workers and officials ready to help. This is like when we work together as a team in our churches and communities to serve God, as seen in 1 Corinthians 12:12-31. It's a great example of how God brings people together to accomplish big things, like building the temple, and how we can trust in His sovereignty and provision, as taught in Psalm 37:5.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the divisions of the priests and Levites in 1 Chronicles 28:21?

The divisions of the priests and Levites were essential for the organization and order of the temple services, as seen in 1 Chronicles 28:21, and their readiness ensured the smooth operation of the house of God, much like the instructions given in Exodus 18:21 for the organization of the people.

How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship?

This verse highlights the importance of stewardship, as every willing man with every skill was at Solomon's disposal for the work, illustrating the principle that our skills and talents are to be used for God's purposes, as taught in Romans 12:6-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

What role do the officials and people play in this verse?

The officials and all the people were fully at Solomon's command, indicating their submission to his leadership and their willingness to work together for the service of the house of the Lord, much like the unity and cooperation described in Acts 2:44-47 and Psalm 133:1.

How does this verse demonstrate God's sovereignty?

The fact that the divisions of the priests and Levites, as well as every willing man, were at Solomon's disposal, demonstrates God's sovereignty and provision for the work of the temple, as seen in verses like Psalm 37:5 and Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourage trust in God's guidance and provision.

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:21

1 Chronicles 28:21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy commandment.Ver. 21. Every willing and skilful man.] Will and skill are very requisite to the well-affecting of anything men go about.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:21

(21) And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites.—The form of expression suggests that David pointed to them as he spoke. The representatives of religion would hardly be absent from an assembly of “all the princes of Israel” (1 Chronicles 28:1) (Comp. 1 Chronicles 24:5, “princes of God.”) They might also be included among “the valiant men.” (Comp. 1 Chronicles 9:13.) And there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship.—Rather, And with thee in every kind of work will be every volunteer with skill, for every kind of service: that is to say, skilled craftsmen have volunteered for the work (1 Chronicles 22:15), and will support thy endeavours. The word rendered “volunteer” (nâdîb) strictly means one who offers free-will offerings. (Comp. Exodus 35:5; Exodus 35:22; and the verb Judges 5:1, hithnaddçb.) The phrase “volunteer with wisdom,” or artistic skill, is not found elsewhere. Also the princes and all the people.—Spoken, perhaps, with another gesture. The whole assembly would subserve the wishes of Solomon. Wholly at thy commandment.—Literally, For all thy words: i.e., orders (Vulg., praecepta), or matters, business (1 Chronicles 26:32).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:21

Verse 21. Behold, the courses of the priests] The priests and the Levites, the cunning artificers, and the princes of the people, will be at thy command. Thus David, having assigned him his work, and described the manner in which it was to be done, shows him who were to be his assistants in it, and encourages him in the great undertaking. Here we find piety, good sense, prudence, zeal for the public welfare and God's glory, the strongest attachments to the worship of Jehovah, and concern for the ordinances of religion, all united; and Solomon has his danger, his duty, and his interest placed before him in the truest and most impressive light by his pious and sensible father.
