1 Chronicles 9:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 9:23

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of
the house of the Lord
They that were appointed in David's time to watch the gates of the temple, their posterity succeeded them in that office; for it was hereditary:

namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards;
that which was at Gibeon in David's time, and now one was erected until the temple was built.

1 Chronicles 9:23 In-Context

21 Z'kharyah the son of Meshelemyah guarded the entryway to the tent of meeting.

22 All these chosen to be gatekeepers numbered 212. Their genealogies were recorded in their towns; they had been appointed to their positions by David and Sh'mu'el the seer.

23 They and their descendants supervised the gates of the house of ADONAI, that is, the house of the tent, by periods of duty.

24 The gatekeepers served on the four sides, east, west, north and south.

25 From time to time their kinsmen had to come in from their towns to help them for seven days.
