“And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:5 The course of Abia - The priests were divided into twenty - four courses, of which that of Abia was the eighth, #1Ch 24:10|. Each course ministered in its turn, for seven days, from Sabbath to Sabbath. And each priest of the course or set in waiting, had his part in the temple service assigned him by lot.
1:6 Walking in all the moral commandments, and ceremonial ordinances, blameless - How admirable a character! May our behaviour be thus unblamable, and our obedience thus sincere and universal!
