The officers who served the king were of twelve divisions, twenty-four thousand in each division, taking care of the king’s affairs month by month throughout all the months of the year (vv. 1-15). David’s standard of living was excessive and too luxurious, and it became a hidden factor in the rebellion that occurred after the time of Solomon. See note 1 Kings 12:4^1a.
