Theological / Devotional

The Hebronites. The record closes with the Hebronites but with no mention of the Uzzielites (see v. 23).

The fortieth year. Compare ch. 29:27. The present regulations were made shortly before the death of David, after Solomon was already on the throne (ch. 23:1).

Jazer of Gilead. Originally a Merarite city (Joshua 21:39), whereas the Hebronites were Kohathites (1 Chron. 6:2).
