Abijah <029> [Abijah.]
As the Evangelist Luke mentions the course of Abia, it is evident that these courses of the priests, established by David, no doubt under Divine direction, were continued, with some alterations, till the days of Christ: these records must therefore have been very useful after the Babylonian captivity.

[Shelomith.]

The following variations exist only in the translation, the original being uniformly [YerŒyƒh ] or [YerŒyƒh–w ] Jerijah, [MŒykƒh] Michah, and [YishshŒyƒh ] Isshiah.

The whole company being ranged according to their families, with the proper number of divisions, the order of their courses was assigned them by lot, without respect to rank or seniority.
