Overview
These verses methodically complete the listing of David's priestly courses. The Chronicler's purpose was partly practical, giving the returned exiles a pattern for restoring orderly temple worship. It also reflects a theological conviction that God values structure and faithfulness in worship, qualities perfectly realized in the orderly, once-for-all priestly work of Jesus Christ.
