He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God. 2 Chronicles 29:25 Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet.

The office of the Levites For according to the final instructions of David This phrase highlights the authoritative role of King David in organizing the Levitical duties. The Hebrew word for "instructions" is "דִּבְרֵי" (divrei), which can also mean "words" or "commands." David, as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14), was divinely inspired to establish a structured worship system. His "final instructions" suggest a culmination of his life's work in ensuring that the worship of Yahweh was orderly and reverent. Historically, David's instructions were pivotal in transitioning Israel from a tribal confederation to a centralized kingdom with a unified religious practice centered in Jerusalem. the Levites twenty years old or more were counted The Levites were numbered.--Literally, these (are), i.e., according to the later idiom, this (is) the enumeration of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and upward. The verse seems to mean that David towards the end of his reign instituted a census of Levites from twenty instead of thirty years old. Thus, the Authorised Version gives the sense. Others render, For in the Last words (i.e., records) of David is the number of the sons of Levi from twenty, &c., as if the chronicler were referring to some historical work in which this special census was recorded. (Comp. 1Chronicles 29:29. ) The verse is a parenthetic remark of the chronicler, interrupting the speech of David, which, however, is resumed in 1Chronicles 23:28, and continued to the end of the chapter. Verse 27. - The... words of David. Although there are many instances of the expression, "the words of" David or some other king, as equivalent to his "doings" (1 Chronicles 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29), and not a few instances of the same phrase, standing for the "account" or "history' of any one (1 Chronicles 27:24; 1 Chronicles 29:29, three times; 2 Chronicles 9:29), the expression here may rather parallel passages like 2 Samuel 23:1; 2 Chronicles 29:30.Parallel Commentaries ...
