Chapter 27

An army division came each month to Jerusalem to serve the King (or that's how I read it anyway.)  They rotated in and out.  There were 24,000 men in each division.  Then the leaders of each tribe are listed.

2023 - Once you know what to look for, it becomes pretty obvious.  Another verse:  1 This is the number of the people of Israel, the heads of fathers' houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000: [1Ch 27:1 ESV].  24 thousands in each of the 12 divisions that came and served on a monthly basis.  There would have been 24 commanders of 1000's in each group.  The elders of those groups if you will.  So in addition to the worship aspect of the priests and the prophets, you have a military aspect of the 24 also.

2026 - Perhaps if one was setting up a business or was elected governor of a State, reading all these organizational details would teach us how things ought to be organized.  There is a lot of this that is about guarding and preserving a physical structure that holds valuable items and so is a target for thieves, and as a Temple, an place that those who worship other gods might want to damage or vandalize.  I have a hard time putting a business into that spot.  But there is also the way the King's holdings were done, with guards and overseers assigned.  Different departments, different needs.  I didn't think of this application until right near the end of 27.  I put a note up top for 2027 to be on the lookout and be thinking of it that way from the beginning next time.
