Officers and judges As for the Hebronites The Hebronites were a clan within the tribe of Levi, specifically descending from Hebron, a son of Kohath. The Levites were set apart for religious duties, and the Hebronites had specific roles in the service of the tabernacle and later the temple. The mention of the Hebronites here highlights their importance and the continuity of their service. Historically, Hebron was a significant city, often associated with patriarchal narratives, and the Hebronites' connection to this city underscores their esteemed heritage and role in Israel's religious life. Jeriah was the chief according to the genealogies of their families In the fortieth year of David’s reign a search was made and there were found among them capable men at Jazer of Gilead (31) Jerijah.--1Chronicles 23:19, "Jeriah." The Hebrew is the same (Y?riyah). In the fortieth year of the reign of David.--This datum is important as fixing the time of these last regulations of David. (Comp. 1Chronicles 23:1.) It evidently points to an ancient source. Jazer of Gilead.--A Merarite city (Joshua 21:39); whereas the Hebronites were Kohathites. Perhaps we should read, "In the cities of Gilead." (32) Two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers.--Rather, heads of the families, i.e., of single households. Sometimes the Hebrew phrase means heads of father-houses or clans; but it obviously cannot be so here, as the whole number of Levites appointed to be "officers and judges" was only 6,000 (1Chronicles 23:4). The 2,700 fathers mentioned here, with the 1,700 of 1Chronicles 26:30, make a total of 4,400. The remaining 1,600 (6,000 minus 4,400) may probably be assigned to Chenaniah (1Chronicles 26:29). It is strange that the house of Hebron should be twice mentioned (1Chronicles 26:30-31) and the house of Uzziel not at all (see 1Chronicles 26:23). Further, of the three great branches of Levi, none but Kohathite houses are named in connexion with "the outward business." The account appears to be incomplete. . . . Verse 31. - This verse is at first sight obscure; but its purport is to say that the Hebronite family was, in the lust year of David's reign, found at Jazer of Gilead, which seems a Merarite city (Joshua 13:25; Joshua 21:39; Numbers 21:32), and that Jerijah (1 Chronicles 23:19; 1 Chronicles 24:23) was then chief of them. He and his brethren were now appointed to the superintendence of the two tribes and a half eastward of Jordan, while "Hashabiah and his brethren" fulfilled the like duties westward of Jordan The number of those east of Jordan constituted overseers seems large in proportion to those mentioned on the west; but we must bear in mind that the numbers of Chenaniah and their range of sphere are not stated. These will presumably complete the six thousand of 1 Chronicles 23:4. Otherwise we have but to fall back on the conviction that the present account is imperfect as well as brief.Parallel Commentaries ...
