  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.

  The standards of all weights and measures were in the

  weights and measures of every kind, that no fraud might in
  this way be committed.  Honesty is inseparably connected with
  piety; and hence the Levites, being sufficiently numerous,
  were employed to superintend the former, as well as the
  latter.
