Chief of the Levites.--Not one of the six princes (1Chronicles 15:5-10), or heads of houses, but president of the carriage of the Ark. Was for song.--So the LXX., which reads "leader of the songs;" but the Syriac has "bore the burden daily" and although the word massa--i.e., "lifting up," or "bearing"--might mean "lifting up the voice," (1) the context is against that meaning here, for Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were conductors of the singing and music; (2) Chenaniah is nowhere else associated with music (see Note on 1Chronicles 26:29); (3) the word massa, "bearing," has the sense we have given it when used in relation to Levites (Numbers 4:19; 2Chronicles 35:3). . . . Verse 22. - For song. There is considerable diversity of opinion as to the meaning of this word. Some think its meaning to be "in the carrying (בַּמַּשָּׂא)" i.e. of the ark. Its exact position here seems not unfavourable to such interpretation. On the other hand, its position in ver. 27 seems conclusively to point to the translation of the Septuagint and of our Authorized Version in this place as the correct one. Dr. Murphy, however, to escape this, thinks "with the singers" in ver. 27 to be a "copyist's inadvertent repetition."Parallel Commentaries ...
