1 Crónicas 26:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 26:14

And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah
The same with Meshelemiah, ( 1 Chronicles 26:1 1 Chronicles 26:2 1 Chronicles 26:9 ) he by lot was placed at the eastern gate, called afterwards the gate Shushan, the city Shushan being portrayed upon it ^F21:

then for Zechariah his son (a wise counsellor);
and who was his firstborn, ( 1 Chronicles 26:2 ) a man of great parts and learning: for they were not mean persons that were employed in this office, nor was the office a mean one, like that of our porters; but men of considerable rank and figure, and of knowledge and learning, were in it; some of them were judges, ( 1 Chronicles 26:29 ) and their places were places of great trust, they had much treasure committed to them, as appears by ( 1 Chronicles 26:20 ) ,

they cast lots, and his lot came out northward;
where was a gate in later times, called Teri or Tedi, which differed from other gates in this, that it had no threshold, only one stone was laid upon another, and was not commonly used ^F23.

1 Crónicas 26:14 In-Context

12 Estas divisiones de porteros llevaban el nombre del jefe de su familia y, al igual que los demás levitas, servían en la casa del Señor
.

13 Fueron designados por familias para estar de guardia en las distintas puertas, sin tomar en cuenta su edad o preparación, porque todo se decidía por medio del sorteo sagrado.

14 La responsabilidad por la puerta oriental le tocó a Meselemías
y a su grupo. La puerta del norte fue asignada a Zacarías, un hombre de una sabiduría fuera de lo común.

15 La puerta del sur le tocó a Obed-edom, y sus hijos quedaron a cargo del depósito.

16 A Supim y a Hosa les asignaron la puerta occidental y la entrada que conduce al templo.
Los turnos de guardia se dividían de manera equitativa.
