Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.
The verse names Amminadab as the chief of the sons of Uzziel and counts one hundred and twelve of his brethren with him. It stands among the genealogical and historical family records in Chronicles that helped establish hereditary duties and claims after the exile. It belongs to the account of David bringing the ark of God to Jerusalem.
In that account David gathered Israel to move the ark from Kirjath-jearim to Jerusalem. David made these arrangements according to God's instructions after an earlier attempt had gone wrong. The transfer was interrupted when Uzzah was struck dead for touching the ark, and it resumed after the ark remained three months in Obed-edom's house, where the Lord blessed his household. This bringing of the ark stands within the record of events connected with David's plans for the house of God.
