Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacles of the congregation with singing,.... Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; this service they performed before the ark, which was in a tent or tabernacle David pitched for it; and which the Targum here calls the tabernacle of time, or a temporary tabernacle:
until Solomon had built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem; the temple there:
and then they waited on their office according to their order; performed it in the manner prescribed by David, see 1 Chronicles 25:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The genealogies of Davidâs three chief singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan or Jeduthun.
1 Chronicles 6:32
They waited on their office - On the establishment and continuance of the choral service in the temple, see 2 Chronicles 5:12, 2 Chronicles 29:27-30; 2 Chronicles 35:15.
1 Chronicles 6:33
Heman - In general Asaph takes precedence of Heman and Jeduthun, but here Heman is placed first, because his family, that of the Kohathites, had the highest priestly rank, being the family which furnished the high priests (see 1 Chronicles 6:2-15).
Shemuel - i. e. âSamuel.â Our translators have here given the Hebrew, while elsewhere they give uniformlv the Greek, form of the name. We learn by this genealogy that Heman was Samuelâs grandson.
1 Chronicles 6:39
His brother Asaph - Not âbrotherâ in the ordinary sense of the term, since Asaph was the son of Berachiah, and a Gershonite, not a Kohathite. âBrotherâ here may mean âfellow-craftsmanâ (compare 1 Chronicles 25:7).
1 Chronicles 6:44
Ethan - Or Jeduthun (see the margin). Corruption will scarcely account for the two forms of the name, since Ethan is used persistently up to a certain point 1 Chronicles 15:19, after which we have uniformly âJeduthun.â The case seems to be rather one in which a new name was taken after a while, which thenceforth superseded the old. Compare Abraham, Sarah, Joshua, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah, etc.
