Listen from:
V.1-15 Next, the soldiers. We might have put them first, but God puts the doorkeepers far ahead of them (Read 2 Tim. 2:1-4). We need to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Now this doesn’t mean literal fighting as in our chapter but now our warfare is spiritual. Ephesians 6:1212For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12) makes this very plain.
V.16-22 Next, the rulers over the tribes — thirteen groups mentioned.
V.23-24 All these men were no doubt reliable men to be in charge. One was David’s own brother. David has learned not to number all the people (1 Chron. 21).
V.25-31 Thirteen smaller groups. What a wonderful organization this must have been that was being set up for Solomon. A beautiful picture of the glorious day on this earth when the Lord Jesus shall rule in righteousness.
