The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
This verse belongs to the full and accurate record of David's division of the priests into twenty-four courses. That division was his careful apportioning of special duties to the men best fitted for them. The organization was perfected when Solomon was placed on the throne, and it covered all branches of service for the ministration of the priests and Levites, the civil officers, and the army. Each priestly course was thoroughly organized under its chief. Each course was to come to Jerusalem twice a year to attend to the ministry of the sanctuary for one week at a time.
