And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers,
one thousand and seven hundred and threescore.

very able men for the work of the service of the house of God:
men that had not only strength of body, which some part of the work of the priests required; but had courage and fortitude of mind to set about the service of God with cheerfulness, and to preserve it from corruption.
