Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - (Comp. Leveticus 10:1, 2, for the death of these; and for their being childless, Numbers 3:2-4; Numbers 26:60, 61.)
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) But Nadab and Abihu died before their father.--Leviticus 10:1-2 tells why: viz., because they offered "strange fire" before the Lord. (See also Numbers 3:4, from which our text appears to be derived.)And had no children.--Literally, And sons had not become (been born) to them.Therefore Eleazar and Ithamar.--And Eleazar and Ithamar acted as priests; Numbers adds, "before the face of Aaron their father." It is implied that the office of the priesthood remained with the two lines, or houses, of Eleazar and Ithamar.
