(20) And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past.--Or, of yore. Phinehas may have held this office of president (nagid, 1Chronicles 9:11) of the warders before he became high priest, just as Eleazar had held a similar position during the lifetime of Aaron (Numbers 3:32). Nothing is said of it elsewhere.
