Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 26:8

"All these were of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men in strength for the service; threescore and two of Obed-edom." — 1 Chronicles 26:8 (ASV)

Able men. — They were men of power; in the original, it is a singular collective.

For strength. — Literally, In the strength, i.e., ability.

Were sixty-two ... — This is a distinct sentence: There were sixty-two (belonging) to Obed-edom. Perhaps the word kol, “every,” has fallen out before ish hayil (compare 1 Chronicles 10:12, where the same phrase occurred).

In that case, render it as: All these were of the sons of Obed-edom; they and their sons and their brethren, every man of power in the strength for service. The “sons and brethren” of the porters may be compared with those of the musicians (1 Chronicles 25:9; 1 Chronicles 25:29).
