There were two main families of priests, (1) the descendants of Eleazar the third son of Aaron, whose chief representative in David’s day was Zadok (hence they are here called “the house of Zadok”), (2) the descendants of Ithamar the fourth son of Aaron, represented in David’s time by Ahimelech (Saul’s victim) or by Abiathar (David’s protégé). The Chronicler prefers to name the descendants of Ithamar after Ahimelech (1Ch_24:3).

Since the people began to bring the offerings.—Since they began to bring the Tĕrûmâh: a word which the Authorised Version usually renders “heave offering.” (See Note on 2Ch_31:6.)

To bring.—In the Hebrew a contracted form, recurring in Jer_39:7.
We have had enough to eat, and have left plenty.—Literally, Eating and being satisfied, and leaving over, even unto abundance (exclamatory infinitives). (Comp. Hos_4:2 for this construction.)
The Lord hath blessed his people.—So that they were able to give liberally.
That which is left.—After the maintenance o the priests has been subtracted.
This great store.—In the Hebrew these words are in the accusative case. Probably, therefore, the right reading is, “and there is left this great store” (omitting the article, and reading wĕ-nôthâr, with Kamp-hausen).
Chambers.—Cells; lĕshâkôth. (See Notes on 1Ch_9:26; 1Ch_23:28.) The preparation intended is probably nothing but the clearance and cleansing of some of these cells for the reception of the stores.
