Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Courses, twenty-four, which were to serve by lot, that no one might complain, as they were equally princes, v. 5. Hence S. Dionisius styles Zachary "prince of the priests." But the pontiff was over all. T.

Ver. 6. Ithamar. All was done with the utmost order, and the priests took care to observe the regulation, till the end of the republic. Joseph. vii. 2. and con. Ap.
i. and ii. Lu. i. 5. --- The family of Eleazar had many prerogatives over the rest, as it was longer in possession of the high priesthood, and more numerous; but that of Ithamar, gave pontiffs to the nation at the time of this regulation.
The Heb. is very obscure, and is deemed incorrect. Cap. Grot. C. --- Prot. "one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar." --- The insertion of
"one," which is in the Sept. removes the difficulty. H. --- The two families were enregistered alternately, (M.) till the eight families of Ithamar were done. H.

↑ 231 Chronicles 24:26
Ver. 26. The son. Heb. "the son of Jehasia, or of Oziau..." But the name of this son is lost. It is wonderful that the posterity of Gersom are passed over. C. ---
Prot. "the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
--- 27. The sons of Merari, by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoam." H. --- Sept. vary, and the original text is supposed to be changed by some transcriber, (Capel. &c.) as we read only of Moholi and Musi, v. 26, and C. xxiii. 21.
