1 Cronache 15:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 15:23

And Berechiah, and Elkanah, were doorkeepers for the ark
Either while it was at Kirjathjearim, and at Obededom's house; or rather after it was put in the tabernacle David had prepared for it; though it may be best of all to understand it, that those, as it was carrying, went before it, to keep the people from pressing to it, and gazing on it.
