Note that 931 BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931 BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy.

Simple Outline of 1 Chronicles 23:1-32 - David Organizes the Levites and Assigns them Their Duties 1Ch 23:1-2 Solomon Reigns 1Ch 23:3-6 Offices of the Levites 1Ch 23:7-11 Gershonites 1Ch 23:12-20 Kohathites 1Ch 23:21-23 Merarites 1Ch 23:24-32 Duties Revised AGED DAVID DESCRIBES ADMINISTRATION OF THE TEMPLE Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel - CSB = "old and full of days" or NIV = "old and full of years" David was seventy years old in 970 b.c. (2 Sam 5:4). David is old but still in charge. This is a summary verse because the story of Solomon's succession is taken up in 1 Kings 1. 1 Kings 1:31-40 describes in greater detail how David made sure that Solomon, and not Adonijah, took the throne after his death. Thus this section skips over the rebellion and execution of his other son Adonijah. Adonijah was elder but God had commanded Solomon (not the eldest son) follow David (1Ch 22:9-10). The account of Solomon's succession is resumed in 1Ch 28-29. From 1Ch 28:5 we know it was YHWH's choice, not David's. Solomon's succession is mentioned several times - 1Chr. 22:5,6,9,10; 1Ch 28:5-8; 1Ch 29:1-30. All of the problems associated with Solomon found in 1 Kings 1-2 are omitted. Compare other men who reached a ripe old age - Abraham, Isaac, Job, and faithful priest Jehoiada (Gen. 25:8; 35:29; Job 42:17; 2 Chron. 24:15). SPECIAL TOPIC: HUMAN AGING John Sailhamer has an interesting comment on 1Ch 23:1-2 - First Chronicles 23:1–2 provides the outline for the remaining chapters of 1 Chronicles: “Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel. And he gathered together [organized] all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites.” In reverse order, that summary is the basis for the account of David’s organization of the Levites (1Ch 23:1–32; 24:20–31), the priests (1Ch 24:1–19), the musicians and doorkeepers (1Ch 25:1–26:32), and the princes of Israel (1Ch 27:1–34). The enthronement of Solomon, noted first in this passage, is the concern of the third account of the promise to David (1Ch 28:1–29:30). (Everyman's Bible Commentary - Chronicles) Warren
