Listen, Jack, 1 Chronicles 23 is all about the Levites. Folks, the Levites were a special group of people who were set aside by God to serve him, and they were the ones responsible for all the temple duties, like sacrificing animals and burning incense. So, what happens in this chapter is that King David makes a plan to organize the Levites into 24 divisions, each one with a special role, and he assigns each division a leader. Excuse me, he also sets aside a special group of Levites to work in the Temple and to teach the people about the law of God. No malarkey!

My father used to say, we should never forget the contribution the Levites made to the people of Israel. That's why this chapter is so important. It reminds us of the Levites' service and of the importance of having a special group of people dedicated to serving God. See here, Jack, the Levites were literally the backbone of Israel's religious system. And I'm not joking, their contribution was absolutely invaluable!
