What Does 1 Chronicles 26:30 Mean?
The Hebronite clan provides a large company, seventeen hundred capable men under Hashabiah, set as officers over Israel west of the Jordan. Their charge joined two spheres, the business of the Lord and the service of the king.
The text places the work of the Lord and the service of the king side by side, as one calling. To these Levites, tending God's affairs and the realm's affairs was a single faithful duty. When earthly governance is carried out in reverence, the service of the king and the service of the Lord move together.
