     * 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.
