The same kind of office was assigned to Jerijah and his brethren in the trans-Jordanic region as to Hashabiah and his brethren in western Palestine 1Ch 26:30<\/span>, namely, a superintendence over religious matters and over the interests of the king.<\/P> <\/p>\n Two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers; <\/B>which is a very great number to be employed about two tribes and a half, when all the rest of the tribes had only one thousand and seven hundred, 1Ch 26:30<\/span>, besides those under Chenaniah; of whom See Poole “1Ch 26:29<\/span>“. But the reason hereof is plain, because the tribes without Jordan being more remote from the kings court, and from the place of public and solemn worship, needed more than ordinary help to instruct and keep them in the practice of the true religion, and the worship of God, and in obedience to their king. <\/P> <\/p>\n And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers<\/strong>,…. That is, the brethren or kinsmen of Jerijah the Hebronite were so many principal men in their families, and men of fortitude and courage:<\/p>\n whom King David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh<\/strong>; all which lay on the other side Jordan; and being so remote from the seat of civil government, and of the worship of God, they were in greater danger of revolting, both from their obedience to their king, and duty to their God; land therefore so large a number was appointed over them, to instruct them and keep them in their duty to both, as follows:<\/p>\n for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king<\/strong>; to see that they kept close to the pure worship and service of God; and were faithful and loyal subjects of the king.<\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n FROM the perusal of this Chapter, the ministers of Jesus may derive, under his Spirit’s teaching, sweet instruction, to show with what vigilance they are expected to stand as porters in their station. Ye shall be named (saith the prophet) the priests of the Lord. Men shall call you the ministers of our God. Placed at the doors of the house of Jesus, what an eye of vigilance should be open to everyone about to enter; to observe their walk, their life, their conversation, their object, their pursuit, their design. And how to look out and notice the approaches of the enemy, so as to defend the truth from error, and keep back the feet of those who hold the truth in unrighteousness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n From the character and officers represented here under the name of treasurers, how sweetly are the Scribes in the gospel, which are well instructed, taught the necessity of bringing out of the gospel treasury to the people, things new and old. Entrusted by Jesus with the charge of his holy word, his ordinances, and all his precious truths in a way of instrumentality; oh! how lovely is the office of those who, from their inexhaustible Storehouse, bring forth continually to the people the unsearchable riches of Christ. But on the contrary, what an awful abuse of their office do they make, who preach themselves, instead of Christ Jesus the Lord.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n And let all officers, and judges, and magistrates, from this sweet chapter learn also that since the temple service with all its appendages were thus appointed, how needful it must be to manifest that they bear not the sword in vain, but by a wise and impartial administration, are counted worthy of double honor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Lord Jesus! give to all thy servants grace in the several ordinations of thy service, that all, with a single eye to thy glory, may promote thy blessed cause, and set forward the salvation of thy people.<\/p>\n 1Ch 26:32 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 32. Over the Reubenites, &c.<\/strong> ] These were more remote; and lest they should grow more remiss, they had the more Levites amongst them.<\/p>\n men of valour: 1Ch 26:6-9 <\/p>\n chief fathers: 1Ch 15:12, 1Ch 23:24, 1Ch 24:31 <\/p>\n Reubenites: 1Ch 12:37 <\/p>\n and affairs: Heb. and thing, 2Ch 19:11, There were more Levites employed as judges with the two tribes and half on the other side of Jordan, than with all the rest of the tribes; there were two thousand seven hundred, whereas on the west side of Jordan there were only one thousand seven hundred. Either those remote tribes were not so well furnished as the rest with judges of their own, or because they lay farthest from Jerusalem, on the borders of the neighbouring nations, and were thus much in danger of being infected with idolatry, they most needed the help of Levites to prevent their running into the abominations of the idolaters. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 46:11 – Levi Num 1:50 – thou shalt Num 8:15 – go in Num 32:33 – half the 1Ch 6:48 – brethren 1Ch 9:13 – very able men 1Ch 9:22 – David 1Ch 28:21 – the courses 2Ch 23:8 – the courses 2Ch 31:2 – the courses 2Ch 31:17 – by their courses 2Ch 35:4 – after your courses Ezr 6:18 – the priests Ezr 8:1 – the chief Neh 7:1 – the porters Neh 12:24 – according Neh 12:45 – the singers Neh 13:30 – appointed Mat 25:16 – went<\/p>\n 1Ch 26:32. Two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers Which is a very great number to be employed about two tribes and a half, when all the rest of the tribes had only one thousand seven hundred, (1Ch 26:30,) besides those under Chenaniah, of whom see on 1Ch 26:29. But the reason hereof is plain, because the tribes without Jordan, being more remote from the kings court, and from the place of public and solemn worship, needed more than ordinary help to instruct and keep them in the practice of true religion, and the worship of God, and obedience to their king. <\/p>\n 26:32 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 {q} God, and affairs of the king.<\/p>\n (q) Both in spiritual and temporal things.<\/p>\n And his brethren, men of valor, [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. 32. his brethren ] i.e. the brethren of Jerijah. chief fathers ] R.V. heads … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 26:32”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11121\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
