1 Chronicles26:8-9
1Ch 26:8-9
The whole number of doorkeepers of Obed-edom’s family, his sons and brethren, was sixty-two; able men with strength for the service. The singular חיל אישׁ, after the preceding plural, is most simply explained by taking it to be in apposition to the כּל at the beginning of the verse, by repeating כּל mentally before אישׁ. - In 1Ch 26:9 the number of Meshelemiah’s sons and brothers is brought in in a supplementary way.
