 The priestly genealogy forms the counterpart to the royal genealogy (1 Chron. 2-3), but it ends here at the captivity, without going beyond it as with the line of David (1 Chron. 3:19-24). (The Tribe of Levi: 1 Chronicles 6 by H.L. Rossier)
 We first find the sons of Levi according to natural order or the order of birth: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; then in 1 Chron. 6:2, Kohath (and not Gershon) is chosen by grace as the stock of the Aaronic priesthood. (The Tribe of Levi: 1 Chronicles 6 by H.L. Rossier)
