What Does 1 Chronicles 12:27 Mean?
Within Levi, the descendants of Aaron, the priestly family, are noted separately under their leader Jehoiada, numbering 3,700. The priests, who ministered before God, lent their support and their leadership to David.
That the priestly house came to make David king shows how fully his cause was joined to the worship of God. Where God's chosen leader is honored, the service of God and the leadership of His people move forward together.
