Notes
The Levites managed the Lord's treasuries and property (see 2 Chronicles 24:11; 31:12). People always dedicated some war spoils to God (1 Chronicles 26:26–28).
As Solomon prepared to become king, David appointed officials to organize the Levitical orders at the end of his reign. These officers included treasurers, administrators, and judges who were part of the government.
