Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 23:1

23:2 Gathered, &c. - To declare God's mind and his own will, thatSolomon should be his successor: and to acquaint them with thosedirections which he had received from God by the spirit.

23:3 Upwards - Not only 'till fifty, as it was appointed,#Numb 4:2|,3, but even 'till their death: for that was but a temporarylaw grounded upon a special reason, because the Levites were employedin carrying the tabernacle and sacred vessels from place to place; andtherefore God would have them freed from those burdens when they came tofeel the infirmities of age: which reason wholly ceasing upon the buildingof the temple, their work being far easier than it had been, and theirservice being more a privilege than a burden, their time of service isjustly prolonged.
