Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - The Hebrew of this verse reads, And David divided them, and Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimalech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices (לַכְסֻדָּתָם), in their service (בַּעְבֹדָתָם). And the evident purport of it is that the three, David, Zadok, and Ahimelech, conjointly made the arrangements. This is virtually repeated in vers. 6, 31 (see also 1 Chronicles 25:1 for an analogous case). For the "Ahimelech" of this verse and vers. 6, 31, should be read "Abiathar," as shown in 1 Chronicles 18:16, by comparison of 1 Samuel 22:20; 2 Samuel 20:25; 1 Kings 1:7, 8; Mark 2:26.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) And David distributed them.--The same phrase as at 1Chronicles 13:3. (See Note there.)Both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar.--This expression forms part of the subject of the Hebrew sentence. The construction is like that in 1Chronicles 24:2, "And Nadab died, and Abihu." Thus, "And David divided them, and Zadok and Ahimelech," i.e., "And David, with Zadok and Ahimelech, divided them." The meaning is that Zadok and Ahimelech, the heads of the houses of Eleazar and Ithamar, assisted David in the classification of the priests.According to their offices.--Rather, According to their official class (1Chronicles 23:11).
