Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

6:1-81 Genealogies. - We have an account of Levi in this chapter. The priests and Levites were more concerned than any other Israelites, to preserve their descent clear, and to be able to prove it; because all the honours and privileges of their office depended upon their descent. Now, the Spirit of God calls ministers to their work, without any limit as to the families they came from; and then, as now, though believers and ministers may be very useful to the church, none but our great High Priest can make atonement for sin, nor can any be accepted but through his atonement.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 13. - Shallum, called in 1 Chronicles 9:11 and Nehemiah 11:11 Meshullam. There are at fewest fifteen persons of this name. The present is named as ancestor of Ezra (Ezra 7:2). Hillkiah. There are seven persons of this name. The present was the celebrated one of them all; and from three chief circumstances:

(1) for the finding of the "book of the Law in the house of the Lord" (2 Kings 22:8);

(2) the zealous spirit with which he joined in the reformation under Josiah (2 Kings 22:14-20; 2 Kings 23:4-27);

(3) the observance in his high priesthood of the Passover, in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign (2 Chronicles 35:1-19).
