Calmet
Levi. The genealogy of the Levites is given with more exactitude than any of the preceding. Caath formed two branches, 1. the priests, descended from Aaron; 2. all his other children, who were simply Levites. (Calmet)
Menochius
Hence they are placed after the priests. (Menochius)
6:2
Isaar, or Aminadab, ver. 22.

Calmet
Abisue. He is mentioned no where else. Josephus ([Antiquities?] V. ultra) calls him Abiezer. (Calmet)
Menochius
Many of these high priests were very obscure. (Menochius)
Tirinus
Ozi, after whom Heli is supposed to have reigned, so that Zaraias and the three following were excluded, (Calmet) while Heli, and four of the same family of Ithamar, were acknowledged as high priests. (Tirinus)
Tirinus
Abiathar was then forced to give place to Sadoc, (3 Kings 2:26.; Haydock) whose family was in power at the captivity, ver. 15. (Tirinus)
Worthington
Nicephorus (II. 4.) and Josephus ([Antiquities?] 10:11.) mention other high priests besides these. (Worthington)
6:9
Azarias. Perhaps the same who is called Amarias, (2 Paralipomenon 19:11.) as Johanan is probably the illustrious Joiada, 4 Kings 11:4.
6:10
Calmet
This may refer to either. (Calmet)
Menochius
The Holy Ghost gives an encomium to Joiada, for re-establishing the divine worship, (Junius) or to Azarias, for withstanding the impious attempt of king Osias. (Estius; Tirinus, etc.) (2 Paralipomenon 26:17. (Menochius)

Sellum, or Mosollam, chap 9:11. (Calmet)
6:15
Went out, into captivity, while his father was slain, 4 Kings 25:18. More than 22 priests would be requisite to fill up near 900 years. See Salien.
6:16
Gerson. Hebrew here reads Gersom, though it had Gerson before, ver. 1.
6:18
Du Hamel
The, etc. This verse is repeated from ver. 2., as the author is now going to continue the genealogy of the Levites, in their natural order, (Haydock) to Samuel. (Du Hamel)
6:20
Jahath. See ver. 42, 43.
Zamma springs from Semei, Jeth, Gerson, and has a son named Ethan, who has Adaia; as Zara begot Athanai, ver. 41. Almost all the names are rather different
6:22
Haydock
Asir. While Core perished, his children were preserved, Numbers 16:30., and 26:11. (Haydock)
6:23
Haydock
Asir. This name seems superfluous (ver. 36., and Exodus 6:24.; Calmet) perhaps taken from the preceding verse. (Haydock)
Calmet
The two former were sons of Core, ver. 25, 37. (Calmet)
6:26
Du Hamel
Sophai may be a surname of Elcana. (Poole) (Du Hamel)
6:27
Du Hamel
Elcana, his son. It seems necessary to supply, "Samuel, his son," (Haydock) as he descended from the 3d Elcana. (Du Hamel)
6:28
Haydock
Vasseni means, "and the second;" which can hardly be considered as the name of the eldest son, tough some have taken it as such, in like manner as they have explained six, 1 Paralipomenon 3:22. But then the v ought at least to be omitted, (Calmet) as it is in the Vatican and Alexandrian Septuagint, "Sani and Abia." (Haydock)
Calmet
Other editions insert "Joel," with the Syriac and Arabic. (Calmet)
Menochius
This person had therefore either two names, or Joel has been omitted, and we should translate "Joel and the second, Abia." (Menochius)
These brothers acted so ill as judges, that the people took occasion to demand a king, 1 Kings 8:3.
6:31
Year of the World 2959, Year before Christ 1045.
Calmet
The singing. Hebrew, "the hands or places of the canticle," the two tribunes on each side of the altar. Heman presided over the band in the middle, while Asaph directed those on the right, and Ethan those on the left, ver. 33, 39, and 44. (Calmet)
Placed. Hebrew, "rested," as before David's time it had been carried about. He erected a tabernacle for it on Sion, and directed the Levites to attend in order, (chap. 25.) so that some should be present every day (Menochius) to honour God, both by instruments and vocal music, while the priests performed their sacred functions with the utmost decency.
6:33
Calmet
Heman. Some families among the Levites were more distinguished than the rest, having authority to regulate the singers, and to give the tune. Hence many psalms are addressed to these masters of music. Yet from those titles we cannot surely infer that those psalms were composed by Asaph, etc. (Calmet)
6:34
Haydock
Eliel. Many of the genealogies do not seem to agree in these first 10 chapters, as some more obscure names have been passed over, (Menochius) or the people had different names, or, through the fault of transcribers, some alteration has taken place, which could hardly be avoided, without a constant miracle. (Haydock)
6:39
Brother, or relation, though of the family of Gerson. He also followed the same profession as Ethan did, ver. 44.
6:44
6:48
Menochius
Brethren. All the other Levites, who were not Cantors. (Menochius)
6:49
Offerings, which is here the meaning of incensum; as "incense" was not burnt on this altar, but only victims, Exodus 29:13.
6:53
Worthington
Sadoc. By God's ordinance Heli had been appointed. But the dignity still subsisted in Aaron's family. (Worthington)
Achimaas, who was pontiff in the days of Solomon. This genealogy had been brought down to the Captivity, ver, 3, etc.) which shews that the author give extracts from different records.

Suburbs, or 2000 cubits round the city. See Josue xx., and xxi. (Calmet)
6:57
Haydock
Of, is not authorized by the Vulgate civitates, but is added, to signify that all these 13 cities were not thus privileged. (Haydock)
Menochius
There were only six cites of refuge, of which Hebron was one. See Josue 20:7. (Calmet) (Menochius)
Protestants, "And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of Juda, namely, Hebron, the city of refuge." But "such a licence to insert words at pleasure, cannot be allowed." Hebrew literally, "they gave cities of Hebrew refuge, Hebron," etc. The "sense absolutely disallows the word Judah," which is omitted , (Josue 21:13.) as well as in some Hebrew manuscripts in the Bamberg and Complutensian editions, and in those of Jablonski and Michaelis.
Kennicott
Hari, "cities," ought to be hir, "a city," as only one is meant. We should also add with the Arabic and Syriac, and the parallel passage in Josue, "and her suburbs," after Hebron. (Kennicott)
Haydock
"Juda" is not found in the Septuagint, etc.: and Buxtorf acted with little wisdom, when he thought he had sufficiently answered Capellus, by observing that the Masora declared the word to be authentic. (Anticrit.) It is a great misfortune that most of the printed Hebrew editions have been given under such influence; and that the Masorets have defaced so many manuscripts by their corrections. (Haydock)
Kennicott
Hence they probably burnt all the first edition of Naples, 1487, except part of a single copy, comprising the Cethubim given to Eton college by Dr. Pellet, which omits the word Juda. (Kennicott, Dis. 1:p. 520-2)
6:59
Calmet
Asan, perhaps Jethnan, or Ain, Josue 15:23., and 21:15. Syriac adds Ethra. (Calmet)
Haydock
Bethsemes. Alexandrian Septuagint subjoins, "Baither and its suburbs." (Haydock)
Menochius
All these cities were in the tribes of Juda and of Simeon. (Menochius)
6:60
Almath. Josue, Almon.
Calmet
Thirteen; but Geta and Gabaon are not here expressed, Josue 21:16, 17. (Calmet)
Haydock
Alexandrian Septuagint inserts, "Labee," before, and "Anchos, with its suburbs," after Anathoth, thus making 14; but these additional cities were not sacerdotal. (Haydock)
6:61
Calmet
Out of. We may supply, "the tribe of Dan, Ephraim, etc.," as only two cities belonged to Manasses, Josue 21:25. (Calmet)
Menochius
Double that number was taken from the two other tribes. (Menochius)
6:65

Names. Some being styled of the priests, (Calmet) other of the Levites, (Menochius) whose dominion as thus asserted. (Calmet)

Haydock
The cities, or rather "some cities," as all were not in the tribe of Ephraim. (Haydock)
6:67
Calmet
Of the. Literally, "cities to flee to, (or of refuge) Sichem," (Haydock) which might induce some to suppose that all these cities were of this description; but, in reality, only Sichem had that privilege. (Calmet)
Septuagint is liable to the same ambiguity. See ver. 57., (Haydock) Josue 20:7., and 21:21.
6:68
Jecmaan, or Cibsaim, (Josue) as Helon is put for Aialon below. And of the tribe of Dan, Eltheco and Gabathon is omitted. See Josue 21:23.
6:70
Aner and Baalam, perhaps the same as Thanach and Gethremmon, which were given to the children of Caath of the inferior degree, (Josue 21:26.; Calmet) or, who were left out of the rank of priests, (Menochius) or before unprovided for, as the partition was made at different times.
Baalam. Hebrew, "Balaam." Septuagint, "Iblaam" is the Jeblaam, Josue 17:11.
6:71
Calmet
Astharoth, or Bosra. (Calmet)
Haydock
Hebrew Hashtaroth, Josue 21:27. (Haydock)

Cedes....Ramoth, and Anem, are Cesion, Jaramoth, and Engannim, Josue 21:28, 29.

6:77
Haydock
Remmono and Thabor, or, Jecham and Cartha. (Haydock)
Calmet
Damna and Naalol are here omitted, Josue 21:35. There was formerly a town on Thabor, perhaps called Ceselet Thabor, Josue 19:12., and Judges 4:6. (Calmet)

In Sadoc (3. Reg 2.) the high priesthood was reduced to the line of Eleazar which by Gods ordinance was translated to Heli of Ithamars line but stil continued in the line of Aaron. The rest of Sadochs line by Achimaas &c. to Iosedech in the captiuitie appeareth before. v. 9. ad 15.

St Augustine of Hippo † AD 430 Expositions on the Book of Psalms 52.5

6:5
5. BOCCI BEGOT OZI. — After this Ozi, Heli was made Pontiff, who was the great-grandson of Ithamar, not of Eleazar: four of his descendants succeeded Heli, the last of whom was Abiathar, who was deprived of the pontificate by Solomon on account of a conspiracy made with Adonia against him, Sadoc being substituted in his place, who was from the descendants of Eleazar: hence the pontificate remained in his descendants until the Babylonian captivity. Wherefore the four intermediate ones, who are named here from Ozi until Sadoc, namely Zaraias, Meraioth, Amarias and Achitob, were not pontiffs; but the others after Sadoc were.
6:14
14. AND AZARIAS BEGOT ZARAIAM. — "Azarias" here was that courageous Pontiff who resisted Ozia, or Azaria the king, when he wished to offer incense, and drove him out of the temple, as is said in lib. II, cap. XXVI. The son of Azarias was Zaraias, who was Pontiff after his father until the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, and was slain with seventy chief men of the Jews by Nabuchodonosor, as was said in lib. IV Kings cap. ult. 18. The son of Saraias was Josedec, who was led captive into Babylon and from there led the Jews captive with Zorobabel as leader in the first year of Cyrus; the son of Josedec was Josue or Jesus the Pontiff, who with Zorobabel restored the temple, as is said in 1 Esdras V, 2, as God himself had commanded him through Zacharias, cap. III.
6:22
22. CORE HIS SON. — This is Core, who rebelling against Moses was swallowed up alive by the earth opening with his men; but his innocent sons were preserved unharmed by God through a miracle, and are therefore enumerated here. From these was Elcana the father of Samuel the Prophet, as is evident from vers. 27, 34 and 37.
6:28
28. THE SONS OF SAMUEL, — who was the son of Elkanah mentioned just above in verse 27, are named. For this reason he is mentioned immediately after him, so that it might be indicated that they were his sons. Thus Vatablus. FIRSTBORN VASSENI AND ABIA. — You will say: In 1 Kings VIII, 2, it is said "the name of his son (Samuel's) firstborn, Joel; and the name of the second, Abia;" I answer that Joel was a double name, and was called by another name Vasseni. Or certainly Joel has been omitted here, and Vasseni, in Hebrew ושני that is and second Abia; whence the Septuagint clearly translates, and the sons of Samuel his firstborn Joel and second Abia. These are they who, degenerating from Samuel, gave occasion to the people to ask for a king, wherefore Samuel gave them a king, Saul, 1 Kings VIII.
6:54
54. THESE DWELLINGS, — that is to say, these are the cities of the priests assigned to them by Joshua, chapter XXI, where they are enumerated in almost the same order as here.

His descendants (1 Chron. 5:27; 6:1-4, 29-34 [Vulg. 6:1, 16-19, 44-48]) constituted the least numerous group of the Levites (about 6,200); in the desert they were assigned to transporting the wooden parts of the Tabernacle (Num. …
