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

22 All these that were chosen to be porters at the gates, were two hundred and twelve: the they were registered in their proper towns: whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their trust.

23 As well them as their sons, to keep the gates of the house of the Lord, and the tabernacle by their turns.
