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] gatekeeper at the doorway to the tent of assembly.

22 All of them were chosen as gatekeepers at the entrances, two hundred and twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. They [were] established [by] David and Samuel the seer on account of their faithfulness.

23 So they and their sons [were] over the gates of the house of Yahweh at the house of the tent as guards.

24 The gatekeepers [were] on four sides: east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brethren in their villages [were] to come [every] seven days {by turn} [to be] with these.
