Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:5
Theological / DevotionalOne sort with another. Literally, “these with these.” The purpose was to determine the question of precedence in the order of ministration (v. 19) in which the priests were to serve (see Luke 1:5, 8, 9).
Governors. The two types of governors here mentioned denoted religious functionaries of the highest order—chief priests. The terms may be practically synonymous, or the latter may denote high priests. Both houses had provided religious leaders of the first rank. Now the assignments were determined by lot in order that no preference might be shown to either side.
