David asserts that according to the last commandments of David, the Levites are assigned service from twenty years of age upward, establishing a new minimum age for Levitical service. The lowering of the minimum service age from thirty to twenty years indicates David's desire to utilize the maximum number of Levites for temple service. The reference to "last commandments" suggests that this represents David's final legislation regarding Levitical organization.
