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 Zechariah, the son of Meshelemiah, was keeper of the door of the Tent of meeting.

22 There were two hundred and twelve whose business it was to keep the doorway. These were listed by families in the country places where they were living, whom David and Samuel the seer put in their responsible positions.

23 So they and their sons had the care of the doors of the house of the Lord, the house of the Tent, as watchers.

24 There were keepers of the doors on the four sides, to the east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brothers, in the country places where they were living, were to come in every seven days to be with them from time to time.
