26 The Levites will no longer have to carry the tent and all the utensils used in worship."

1 Chronicles 23:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:26

And also unto the Levites
Or with respect to them:

they shall no more carry the tabernacle:
on their shoulders, from place to place, as they had done:

nor any vessels of it for the service thereof;
and so the service of it did not require men at their full strength, but such as were but twenty years of age might be employed in it.

1 Chronicles 23:26 In-Context

24 These were Levi's descendants, who were grouped according to their families. The heads of their families were registered by name as they were counted. Everyone who served in the LORD's temple was at least 20 years old.

25 David had said, "The LORD God of Israel has given his people rest. He will now live in Jerusalem forever.

26 The Levites will no longer have to carry the tent and all the utensils used in worship."

27 David's last instructions were to count the Levites who were at least 20 years old.

28 They were appointed to stand beside Aaron's descendants to serve in the LORD's temple. They were appointed to be in charge of the courtyards and the temple rooms, to ensure that all the holy things were clean, and to serve in God's temple.
