Officers and judges II.--THE KEEPERS OF THE TEMPLE TREASURES (20) And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God.--Literally, And the Levites--Ahijah over the treasures, . . . a strange beginning, for hitherto none but Levites have been in question. We should have expected at least "the other Levites." Further, the name Ahijah is suspicious, because (1) not found among the proper names in 1Chronicles 23:7 sqq.; (2) it stands alone, without any reference to a family, such as is made in every other case (see 1Chronicles 26:21-25); (3) the addition of the single letter m at the end of the word, would give the sense "their brethren," which is in fact the reading of the LXX.

Verse 20. - First, the Hebrew text contains no "of" in the first word of this verse; and, secondly, no meaning can be obtained cut of the name Ahijah as it is placed here. The Septuagint reading, "their brethren," is exactly what we should expect, and is paralleled by other passages (2 Chronicles 29:34). This correction of the present text may be safely accepted, viz. אֲחֵיהֶם for אֲהִיָּה The two classes of treasures are here marked, preparatory to the statements of vers. 22 and 26-28.Parallel Commentaries ...
