Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 25. - For David said. The "for" of this clause cannot be supposed to account exclusively for the inclusion in the census of Levites beginning from the age of twenty years; it accounts no doubt for the whole proceeding. Since there would be no more journeyings for people, for buildings, or for sacred vessels, it was nosy fully time to organize religious duty and "the service of the house of God" in a manner adapted to permanent institutions. In order to this, the first step was to know and to arrange the number of those who were answerable for sacred duties.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) For David said.--This verse seems to assign a reason for the extension of the Levitical census.The Lord . . . hath given rest unto his people.--So that they no longer wander from pasture to pasture in the wilderness, nor are any more oppressed by foreign tyrants as in the days of the judges.That they may dwell.--Rather, And He (the Lord) hath settled in Jerusalem for ever. (Comp. 1Chronicles 17:5, "I have gone from tent to tent.") Now Jehovah has chosen Zion to be His eternal dwelling-place (Psalm 132:13.)
