 * from the age.
   At first David appointed the Levites to serve from thirty
   years old and upwards; but considering, probably, that the
   temple which was about to be built, with its courts, chambers,
   etc., would require a more numerous ministry, he fixed this
   period, by this subsequent regulation, at twenty years and
   upwards.  In the time of Moses, the age was from thirty years
   to fifty:  here this latter period is not mentioned, probably
   because the service was not so laborious now; for the ark
   being fixed, they had no longer any burdens to carry; and
   therefore even an old man might continue to serve.  See the
   Note on Nu 8:24.

 * twenty.
