Michal despises him Then he gathered together This phrase indicates a deliberate and purposeful action by King David. The Hebrew root for "gathered" is "קָבַץ" (qavats), which means to collect or assemble. This action reflects David's intention to restore proper worship practices in Israel. Historically, this gathering signifies a pivotal moment in Israel's religious life, as David seeks to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, emphasizing unity and reverence for God's presence. the descendants of Aaron and the Levites The children of Aaron.--The sons of Aaron, i.e., the high priests, Zadok and Abiathar (1Chronicles 15:11). The Levites--i.e., the six chieftains--Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, heads of the clans of Kohath, Merari, and Gershom respectively; and Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab, additional Kohathite chiefs: all the six being at the head of their clansmen ("brethren," 1Chronicles 15:5-10). There were four Kohathite houses to one of Merari and Gershom, because the sub-tribe of Kohath was the elder house, and had special charge of the Ark and other most holy vessels of the sanctuary (Numbers 4:4). Verses 4-11. - This classification of the children of Aaron, as the special priests, and of the Levites, is constantly observed (1 Chronicles 12:26, 27; 1 Chronicles 27:17). The mention of the six representative Levitical families follows. That of Kohath (ver. 5) takes the lead, because, though second in order of birth (Genesis 46:11; Exodus 6:16-19; 1 Chronicles 6:1-30), its priestly importance gave it always first rank. To the same head belonged also three of the remaining five families, viz. Hebron (ver. 9) and Uzziel (ver. 10), who were brothers, as being beth sons of Kohath (Exodus 6:18); and Elizaphan, who, though son of Uzziel (Exodus 6:22), had come to represent a distinct family (Numbers 3:30). The other two required to complete the six are Asaiah (ver. 6) of the house of Merari, and Joel (ver. 7) of the house of Gershom. The representatives, then, of these six families, with the company of the brethren belonging to each of them, and the two priests Zadok and Abiathar (ver. 11), are now summoned into the presence of David, to receive a short but special charge.Parallel Commentaries ...
