1 Chronicles 25:14

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records David’s administrative decree, assigning the seventh musical division to the family of Jesharelah during the formal organization of temple worship personnel.

The words — הַשְּׁבִעִי (ha./she.vi.'I) = the seventh; שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר (she.Neim + 'a.Sar) = twelve.

The thread — This verse continues the chapter’s systematic enumeration of Levitical musician groups, mirroring the identical structure found in 1 Chronicles 25:13 and 1 Chronicles 25:15 where each numbered family receives twelve members.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to observe that the allocation of worship duties was not arbitrary but followed a precise, recorded count for every designated family line.
