Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 24:5

24:5 By lot - That the disposal thereof might be of the Lord, and soall contention be prevented, as no man could be charged with partiality,nor could any say, they had wrong done them. In like manner Matthiaswas chosen to the apostleship by lot with prayer. And I know not, saysMr. Henry, but it might be still used in faith, in parallel cases, asan instituted ordinance. Of God - Or rather, of the things of God,that is, of all persons ministering in the sanctuary, and of all holyministrations done in it, and of all other matters of the Lord, asthey are called by way of distinction from, the king's matters,#2Chron 19:11|.
