The Officers of the Levites. B. C. Date. 1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. 4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him. 6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour. 7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 8 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom. 9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen. 10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen. 12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD . 13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate. 14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 15 To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward. 17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two. 18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari. Observe, I. There were porters appointed to attend the temple, who guarded all the avenues that let to it, opened and shut all the outer gates and attended at them, not only for the state, but for service, to direct and instruct those who were going to worship in the courts of the sanctuary in the decorum they were to observe, to encourage those that were timorous, to send back the strangers and unclean, and to guard against thieves and others that were enemies to the house of God. In allusion to this office, ministers are said to have the keys to the kingdom of heaven committed to them ( Matthew 16:19 ), that they may admit, and exclude, according to the law of Christ. II. Of several of those that were called to this service, it is taken notice of that they were mighty men of valour ( 1 Chronicles 26:6 ; 1 Chronicles 26:6 ), strong men ( 1 Chronicles 26:7 ; 1 Chronicles 26:7 ), able men ( 1 Chronicles 26:8 ; 1 Chronicles 26:8 ), and one of them that he was a wise counsellor ( 1 Chronicles 26:14 ; 1 Chronicles 26:14 ), who probably, when he had used this office of a deacon well and given proofs of more than ordinary wisdom, purchased to himself a good degree, and was preferred from the gate to the council-board, 1 Timothy 3:13 . As for those that excelled in strength of body, and courage and resolution of mind, they were thereby qualified for the post assigned them; for whatever service God calls men to he either finds them fit or makes them so. III. The sons of Obed-edom were employed in this office, sixty-two of that family. This was he that entertained the ark with reverence and cheerfulness; and see how he was rewarded for it. 1. He had eight sons ( 1 Chronicles 26:5 ; 1 Chronicles 26:5 ), for God blessed him. The increase and building up of families are owing to the divine blessing; and a great blessing it is to a family to have many children, when like these they are able for, and eminent in, the service of God. 2. His sons were preferred to places of trust in the sanctuary. They had faithfully attended the ark in their own house, and now were called to attend it in God's house. He that is trusty in little shall be trusted with more. He that keeps God's ordinances in his own tent is fit to have the custody of them in God's tabernacle, 1 Timothy 3:4 ; 1 Timothy 3:5 . I have kept thy law, says David, and this I had because I kept thy precepts, Psalms 119:55 ; Psalms 119:56 . IV. It is said of one here that though he was not the first-born his father made him the chief ( 1 Chronicles 26:10 ; 1 Chronicles 26:10 ), either because he was very excellent, or because the elder son was very weak. He was made chief, perhaps not in inheriting the estate (for that was forbidden by the law, Deuteronomy 21:16 ; Deuteronomy 21:17 ), but in this service, which required personal qualifications. V. The porters, as the singers, had their post assigned them by lot, so many at such a gate, and so many at such a one, that every one might know his post and make it good, 1 Chronicles 26:13 ; 1 Chronicles 26:13 . It is not said that they were cast into twenty-four courses, as before; but here are the names of about twenty-four ( 1 Chronicles 26:1-11 ; 1 Chronicles 26:1-11 ), and the posts assigned are twenty-four, 1 Chronicles 26:17 ; 1 Chronicles 26:18 . We have therefore reason to think they were distributed into as many companies. Happy are those who dwell in God's house: for, as they are well fed, well taught, and well employed, so they are well guarded. Men attended at the gates of the temple, but angels attend at the gates of the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:12 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-20-28" class="com-number"

레위인들의 직무. 문지기들의 반(班) 편성에 관하여: 고라 자손 중에서 아삽의 후손인 고레의 아들 므셀레먀가 있었다. 므셀레먀의 아들들은 장자 스가랴, 둘째 여디아엘, 셋째 스바댜, 넷째 야드니엘, 다섯째 엘람, 여섯째 여호하난, 일곱째 엘리에에나이였다. 오벧에돔의 아들들은 장자 스마야, 둘째 여호사밧, 셋째 요아, 넷째 사갈, 다섯째 느다넬, 여섯째 암미엘, 일곱째 잇사갈, 여덟째 브울드해였으니, 이는 하나님께서 그에게 복을 주셨기 때문이다. 그의 아들 스마야에게도 아들들이 났으니, 그들은 아버지 집안을 통솔하는 자들이었는데, 이는 그들이 큰 용사였기 때문이다. 스마야의 아들들은 오드니, 르바엘, 오벳, 엘사밧이며, 그들의 형제들인 엘리후와 스마갸는 강한 사람들이었다. 이 오벧에돔의 자손들은 다 힘 있는 사람들로서 직무에 능한 자들이었으니, 오벧에돔에게서 난 자가 예순두 명이었다. 므셀레먀의 아들들과 형제들은 강한 사람 열여덟 명이었다. 므라리 자손 호사의 아들들로는 시므리가 수령이었으니, 그가 장자는 아니었지만 아버지가 그를 수령으로 삼은 것이다. 둘째는 힐기야, 셋째는 드발랴, 넷째는 스가랴였으며, 호사의 아들들과 형제들은 모두 열세 명이었다. 이들 중에서 문지기들의 반(班)이 편성되었으니, 그 족장들이 서로 교대로 지키며 여호와의 전에서 봉사하였다. 큰 자나 작은 자나 다 같이 제 조상의 집을 따라 각 문을 위하여 제비를 뽑았다. 셀레먀의 제비는 동쪽에 뽑혔다. 그의 아들 지혜로운 모사 스가랴를 위하여 제비를 뽑으니 북쪽에 뽑혔다. 오벧에돔은 남쪽, 그의 아들들은 창고 곁에 뽑혔다. 숩빔과 호사는 서쪽과 위로 올라가는 길가에 있는 살레겟 문으로 뽑혔으니, 서로 맞대어 경비하게 되었다. 동쪽에는 날마다 레위인 여섯, 북쪽에는 날마다 넷, 남쪽에는 날마다 넷, 창고 곁에는 둘씩 배치되었다. 바르바르에는 서쪽 길가에 넷, 바르바르 자체에 둘이었다. 이것이 고라 자손과 므라리 자손 중에서 나온 문지기들의 반이었다.
이 대목에서 다음 몇 가지를 살펴보라.
첫째, 성전을 지키는 문지기들이 임명되었다. 그들은 성전으로 들어가는 모든 통로를 지키고, 바깥 문들을 열고 닫으며, 그 문들을 지켰다. 이는 단순히 위엄을 위한 것이 아니라 실제 봉사를 위한 것이었다. 성소의 뜰에 예배하러 오는 이들에게 지켜야 할 예절을 안내하고 가르치며, 두려워하는 자들을 격려하고, 이방인과 부정한 자들을 돌려보내며, 하나님의 전에 해가 되는 도적들과 원수들을 막기 위함이었다. 이 직무를 빗대어, 사역자들은 그리스도의 법에 따라 허용하고 배제할 수 있도록 천국의 열쇠가 자기들에게 맡겨졌다고 말한다(마태복음 16:19).
둘째, 이 직무에 부름받은 여러 사람들에 대하여, 그들이 큰 용사(역대상 26:6), 강한 사람들(역대상 26:7), 능한 사람들(역대상 26:8)이었다고 기록되어 있으며, 그 중 한 사람은 지혜로운 모사(역대상 26:14)라고 불렸다. 그는 집사의 직무를 잘 수행하고 비상한 지혜의 증거를 보인 후에, 아마도 문에서 의회로 승진하였을 것이다(디모데전서 3:13). 육체적 강인함과 담대하고 결단력 있는 정신을 갖춘 자들은 자신에게 주어진 자리에 적합한 사람들이었다. 하나님께서 사람들을 어떤 직무에 부르실 때, 그는 그들을 적합하게 찾거나 아니면 그렇게 만들어 주신다.
셋째, 오벧에돔의 자손 예순두 명이 이 직무에 종사하였다. 그는 경외함과 기쁨으로 언약궤를 자기 집에 모셨던 사람이었다. 그가 이 일로 어떻게 보상받았는지 보라. 1. 그는 여덟 아들을 얻었으니(역대상 26:5), 이는 하나님께서 그에게 복을 주셨기 때문이다. 가정이 번성하고 세워지는 것은 하나님의 복에서 비롯된다. 많은 자녀를 두는 것은 가정에 큰 복이니, 특히 이들처럼 하나님을 섬기는 일에 능하고 탁월할 때 그러하다. 2. 그의 아들들은 성소에서 신임받는 자리에 임명되었다. 그들은 자기 집에서 언약궤를 충성되이 돌보았고, 이제는 하나님의 전에서 그것을 돌보도록 부름받았다. 작은 일에 충성된 자는 더 큰 일을 신임받는다. 자기 장막에서 하나님의 법도를 지키는 자는 하나님의 성막에서 그것을 맡기에 적합하다(디모데전서 3:4-5). 다윗은 말한다. "내가 주의 율법을 지켰사오며, 이는 내가 주의 규례를 지켰기 때문이니이다"(시편 119:55-56).
넷째, 한 사람에 대하여 그가 장자가 아니었지만 아버지가 그를 수령으로 삼았다(역대상 26:10)고 기록되어 있는데, 이는 그가 매우 탁월하였거나 형이 매우 연약하였기 때문일 것이다. 그는 아마도 재산을 상속하는 일에서(이것은 율법으로 금지되었다, 신명기 21:16-17)가 아니라, 개인적 자질이 필요한 이 직무에서 수령으로 삼아진 것이다.
다섯째, 문지기들은 가수들과 마찬가지로 제비를 뽑아 자리를 배정받았으니(역대상 26:13), 어느 문에 몇 명이 배치될지를 정하여 각자 자기 자리를 알고 그것을 지키게 하였다. 그들이 스물네 반(班)으로 나뉘었다는 기록은 없지만, 여기 이름이 약 스물넷 있고(역대상 26:1-11), 배정된 자리도 스물넷이다(역대상 26:17-18). 그러므로 우리는 그들도 그만큼의 반(班)으로 나뉘었다고 생각할 충분한 이유가 있다. 하나님의 전에 거하는 자들은 복이 있다. 그들은 잘 먹이고 잘 가르치며 잘 사용될 뿐 아니라, 또한 잘 보호받기 때문이다. 사람들이 성전의 문들을 지키지만, 천사들이 새 예루살렘의 문들을 지킨다(요한계시록 21:12).

F I R S T C H R O N I C L E S CHAP. XXVI. We have here an account of the business of the Levites. That tribe had made but a very small figure all the time of the judges, till Eli and Samuel appeared. But when David revived religion the Levites were, of all men, in the greatest reputation. And happy it was that they had Levites who were men of sense, fit to support the honour of their tribe. We have here an account, I. Of the Levites that were appointed to be porters, 1 Chronicles 26:1-19 . II. Of those that were appointed to be treasurers and storekeepers, 1 Chronicles 26:20-28 . III.

역대상 26장은 레위인들의 직무에 관한 기록이다. 레위 지파는 사사들의 시대 내내 엘리와 사무엘이 등장하기 전까지 매우 미미한 위치에 있었다. 그러나 다윗이 종교를 다시 일으키자 레위인들은 모든 사람들 가운데 가장 높은 명성을 누리게 되었다. 그들에게 감각 있는 사람들, 곧 지파의 명예를 지탱하기에 적합한 레위인들이 있었다는 것은 매우 복된 일이었다. 이 장은 세 부분으로 나뉜다. 첫째, 문지기로 임명된 레위인들에 관한 기록(역대상 26:1-19). 둘째, 재무를 맡고 창고를 관리하도록 임명된 레위인들에 관한 기록(역대상 26:20-28). 셋째, 지방에서 관리와 재판관으로 활동하며 공무 행정을 위임받은 레위인들에 관한 기록(역대상 26:29-32).

20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things. 21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD . 23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. 25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated. 27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD . 28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren. Observe, 1. There were treasures of the house of God. A great house cannot be well kept without stores of all manner of provisions. Much was expended daily upon the altar-flour, wine, oil, salt, fuel, besides the lamps; quantities of these were to be kept beforehand, besides the sacred vestments and utensils. These were the treasures of the house of God. And, because money answers all things, doubtless they had an abundance of it, which was received from the people's offerings, wherewith they bought in what they had occasion for. And perhaps much was laid up for an exigence. These treasures typified the plenty there is in our heavenly Father's house, enough and to spare. In Christ, the true temple, are hid treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and unsearchable riches. 2. There were treasures of dedicated things, dedicated mostly out of the spoils won in battle ( 1 Chronicles 26:27 ; 1 Chronicles 26:27 ), as a grateful acknowledgment of the divine protection. Abraham gave Melchisedec the tenth of the spoils Hebrews 7:4 . In Moses's time the officers of the army, when they returned victorious, brought of their spoils an oblation to the Lord, Numbers 31:50 . Of late this pious custom had been revived; and not only Samuel and David, but Saul, and Abner, and Joab, had dedicated of their spoils to the honour and support of the house of God, 1 Chronicles 26:28 ; 1 Chronicles 26:28 . Note, The more God bestows upon us the more he expects from us in works of piety and charity. Great successes call for proportionable returns. When we look over our estates we should consider, "Here are convenient things, rich things, it may be, and fine things; but where are the dedicated things?" Men of war must honour God with their spoils. 3. These treasures had treasurers, those that were over them ( 1 Chronicles 26:20 ; 1 Chronicles 26:26 ), whose business it was to keep them, that neither moth nor rust might corrupt them, nor thieves break through and steal, to give out as there was occasion and to see that they were not wasted, embezzled, or alienated to the common use; and it is probable that they kept accounts of all that was brought in and how it was laid out. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-29-32" class="com-number"

레위인들 중에서 아히야는 하나님의 전의 창고와 봉헌물의 창고를 맡았다. 라아단의 아들들에 관하여: 게르손 사람 라아단의 아들들인 족장들, 곧 게르손 사람 라아단의 자손들은 여히엘리였다. 여히엘리의 아들들인 스담과 그의 형제 요엘이 여호와의 전의 창고를 맡았다. 암람 자손과 이스할 자손과 헤브론 자손과 웃시엘 자손 가운데, 모세의 손자요 게르솜의 아들인 스부엘이 창고를 관할하는 자였다. 그의 형제들은 엘리에셀의 계통으로, 그의 아들 르하뱌, 그의 아들 여사야, 그의 아들 요람, 그의 아들 시그리, 그의 아들 슬로밋이었다. 슬로밋과 그의 형제들은 다윗 왕과 족장들과 천부장들과 백부장들과 군대 지휘관들이 봉헌한 모든 봉헌물의 창고를 맡았다. 그들은 전쟁에서 얻은 노획물로 여호와의 전을 유지하기 위하여 봉헌하였다. 또한 선견자 사무엘과 기스의 아들 사울과 넬의 아들 아브넬과 스루야의 아들 요압이 봉헌한 것도 있었으며, 무엇이든 봉헌한 것은 슬로밋과 그의 형제들의 손에 맡겨졌다.
이 대목에서 다음 몇 가지를 살펴보라.
첫째, 하나님의 전에 창고들이 있었다. 큰 집은 모든 종류의 비축물이 없이는 잘 유지될 수 없다. 제단에서는 매일 밀가루, 포도주, 기름, 소금, 연료가 소모되었고, 등잔불도 유지해야 했다. 이것들을 미리 비축해 두어야 했으며, 성의(聖衣)와 기물들도 마찬가지였다. 이것들이 하나님의 전의 창고였다. 돈이 모든 것에 응답하기 때문에, 그들에게는 백성의 헌물로 받아 필요한 것을 구입하는 데 쓰는 풍부한 돈도 있었을 것이다. 또한 비상시를 위하여 많은 것이 비축되었을 것이다. 이 창고들은 우리 하늘 아버지의 집에 있는 풍요로움을 상징하였으니, 거기에는 넉넉하고도 남음이 있다. 참된 성전이신 그리스도 안에는 지혜와 지식의 보화가 감추어져 있으며, 측량할 수 없는 부가 있다.
둘째, 봉헌물의 창고들이 있었으니, 대부분 전쟁에서 얻은 노획물로 봉헌된 것들이었다(역대상 26:27). 이는 하나님의 보호에 대한 감사의 표시였다. 아브라함은 멜기세덱에게 노획물의 십분의 일을 드렸다(히브리서 7:4). 모세의 시대에는 군대 지휘관들이 승리하고 돌아올 때 노획물 중에서 여호와께 예물을 드렸다(민수기 31:50). 최근에는 이 경건한 관습이 다시 살아났으니, 사무엘과 다윗뿐 아니라 사울, 아브넬, 요압도 자기들의 노획물을 하나님의 전의 영광과 유지를 위하여 봉헌하였다(역대상 26:28). 하나님께서 우리에게 더 많이 주실수록, 그는 경건과 자선의 일로 우리에게 더 많은 것을 기대하신다. 큰 성공은 그에 걸맞은 보답을 요구한다. 우리가 재산을 살펴볼 때에 이렇게 생각해야 한다. "여기 쓸 것이 있고, 귀한 것이 있고, 혹 아름다운 것이 있다. 그러나 봉헌한 것은 어디 있는가?" 전사들은 노획물로 하나님을 공경해야 한다.
셋째, 이 창고들에는 창고지기들이 있었으니(역대상 26:20, 26), 그것들을 관리하여 좀과 녹이 상하게 하지 않고 도적이 뚫고 도둑질하지 못하게 하며, 필요에 따라 내어주고 낭비하거나 횡령하거나 일반 용도로 전용되지 않도록 지키는 것이 그들의 임무였다. 그들은 들어온 것과 사용된 것을 모두 기록하는 장부를 관리하였을 것이다.

29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges. 30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD , and in the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king. All the offices of the house of God being well provided with Levites, we have here an account of those that were employed as officers and judges in the outward business, which must not be neglected, no, not for the temple itself. The magistracy is an ordinance of God for the good of the church as truly as the ministry is. And here we are told, 1. That the Levites were employed in the administration of justice in concurrence with the princes and elders of the several tribes, who could not be supposed to understand the law so well as the Levites, who made it their business to study it. None of those Levites who were employed in the service of the sanctuary, none of the singers or porters, were concerned in this outward business; either one was enough to engage the whole man or it was presumption to undertake both. 2. Their charge was both in all business of the Lord, and in the service of the kings, 1 Chronicles 26:30 ; 1 Chronicles 26:30 and again 1 Chronicles 26:32 ; 1 Chronicles 26:32 . They managed the affairs of the country, as well ecclesiastical as civil, took care both of God's tithes and the king's taxes, punished offences committed immediately against God and his honour and those against the government and the public peace, guarded both against idolatry and against injustice, and took care to put the laws in execution against both. Some, it is likely, applied themselves to the affairs of religion, others to secular affairs; and so, between both, God and the king were well served. It is happy with a kingdom when its civil and sacred interests are thus interwoven and jointly minded and advanced. 3. There were more Levites employed as judges with the two tribes and a half on the other side of Jordan than with all the rest of the tribes; there were 2700; whereas as the west side of Jordan there were 1700, 1 Chronicles 26:30 ; 1 Chronicles 26:32 . Either those remote tribes were not so well furnished as the rest with judges of their own, or because they, lying furthest from Jerusalem and on the borders of the neighbouring nations, were most in danger of being infected with idolatry, and most needed the help of Levites to prevent it. The frontiers must be well guarded. 4. This is said to be done (as were all the foregoing settlements) in the fortieth year of the reign of David ( 1 Chronicles 26:31 ; 1 Chronicles 26:31 ), that is, the last year of his reign. We should be so much the more industrious to do good as we can see the day approaching.

이스할 자손 중 그나냐와 그의 아들들은 이스라엘의 외부 업무를 담당하여 관리와 재판관이 되었다. 헤브론 자손 중 하사뱌와 그의 형제들 천칠백 명의 용사는 요단 서편 이스라엘을 다스리며 여호와의 모든 일과 왕의 섬김을 맡았다. 헤브론 사람들 중에는 여리야가 수령이었으니, 다윗이 통치한 지 사십 년째에 길르앗의 야셀에서 큰 용사들이 그들 중에서 발견되었다. 그의 형제들 중 이천칠백 명의 용사인 족장들을, 다윗 왕이 하나님께 관한 모든 일과 왕의 일을 위하여 르우벤 자손과 갓 자손과 므낫세 반 지파를 다스리게 하였다.
하나님의 전의 모든 직무에 레위인들이 잘 배치되었으며, 여기서는 외부 업무에 관리와 재판관으로 종사하던 자들이 소개된다. 외부 업무도 성전 자체를 위해서라도 게을리해서는 안 된다. 치리(治理)는 사역과 마찬가지로 교회의 선을 위한 하나님의 제도이다. 이 대목에서 다음 몇 가지를 살펴보라.
첫째, 레위인들이 각 지파의 지도자들과 장로들과 함께 사법 행정에 종사하였다. 지도자들과 장로들은 율법을 연구하는 것을 자기 일로 삼는 레위인들만큼 율법을 잘 이해할 수 없었을 것이다. 성소의 직무에 종사하던 레위인들, 곧 가수들이나 문지기들은 이 외부 업무에 관여하지 않았다. 어느 하나만으로도 한 사람의 전체를 충분히 사용할 수 있거나, 또는 둘을 다 맡는 것은 주제넘은 일이었기 때문이다.
둘째, 그들의 직무는 여호와의 모든 일과 왕의 섬김 양쪽에 걸쳐 있었다(역대상 26:30, 32). 그들은 교회적인 일과 민사적인 일을 모두 관리하며, 하나님의 십일조와 왕의 세금 모두를 돌보았고, 하나님과 그의 영광에 대한 직접적인 범죄와 정부 및 공공 평화에 대한 범죄를 함께 처벌하였으며, 우상 숭배와 불의 모두를 막고 양쪽에 관한 법률을 집행하는 데 힘썼다. 어떤 이들은 종교적인 일에, 또 어떤 이들은 세속적인 일에 집중하였을 것이다. 그리하여 둘 사이에서 하나님과 왕이 잘 섬김을 받았다. 국가의 민사적 이익과 신성한 이익이 이처럼 서로 얽혀 함께 주목받고 증진될 때 그 나라는 복되다.
셋째, 요단 건너편 두 지파 반을 위하여 재판관으로 세워진 레위인들이 나머지 모든 지파를 위한 레위인들보다 더 많았다. 요단 건너편에는 이천칠백 명이었고, 요단 서편에는 천칠백 명이었다(역대상 26:30, 32). 이는 변방의 그 지파들이 나머지 지파들처럼 자체적인 재판관들을 잘 갖추지 못하였기 때문이거나, 또는 그들이 예루살렘에서 가장 멀리 떨어져 이웃 나라들의 국경에 위치해 있어 우상 숭배에 물들 위험이 가장 크고 레위인들의 도움이 가장 필요했기 때문이다. 변방은 잘 지켜져야 한다.
넷째, 이 모든 임명들과 마찬가지로, 이것도 다윗의 통치 사십 년째(역대상 26:31), 곧 그의 통치 마지막 해에 행해졌다고 한다. 우리는 날이 가까워오는 것을 볼수록 더욱 부지런히 선을 행해야 한다. 우리가 수고의 열매를 누릴 수 있다면, 우리 뒤에 올 자들에게 그것을 나누어 주는 것을 아까워하지 말라.
