DIVISIONS OF THE PORTERS. (Ch1 26:1-12)
Concerning the divisions of the porters--There were four thousand (Ch1 23:6), all taken from the families of the Kohathites and Merarites (Ch1 26:14), divided into twenty-four courses--as the priests and musicians.
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph--Seven sons of Meshelemiah are mentioned (Ch1 26:2), whereas eighteen are given (Ch1 26:9), but in this latter number his relatives are included. |

| The classes of the doorkeepers, the stewards of the treasures of the sanctuary, and the officers for the external business. - Vv. 1-19. The classes of the doorkeepers. Ch1 26:1. The superscription runs shortly thus: "As to (ל) the divisions of the doorkeepers." The enumeration beings with לקרחים: to the Korahites (belongs) Meshelemiah (in Ch1 26:14, Shelemiah). Instead of אסף מן־בּני we should read, according to Ch1 9:19, אביסף מן־בּני, for the Korahites are descended from Kohath (Exo 6:21; Exo 18:16), but Asaph is a descendant of Gershon (Ch1 6:39.). - In Ch1 26:2, Ch1 26:3, seven sons of Meshelemiah are enumerated; the first-born Zechariah is mentioned also in Ch1 9:21, and was entrusted, according to Ch1 26:14, with the guarding of the north side. |

| The divisions of the porters - There were four classes of these, each of which belonged to one of the four gates of the temple, which opened to the four cardinal points of heaven. The eastern gate fell to Shelemiah; the northern, to Zechariah, Ch1 26:14; the southern, to Obed-edom, Ch1 26:15; the western, to Shuppim and Hosah, Ch1 26:16. These several persons were captains of these porter-bands or door-keepers at the different gates. There were probably a thousand men under each of these captains; as we find, from Ch1 23:5, that there were four thousand in all. |

17 And the porters [07778] were, Shallum [07967], and Akkub [06126], and Talmon [02929], and Ahiman [0289], and their brethren [0251]: Shallum [07967] was the chief [07218];
18 Who hitherto waited in the king's [04428] gate [08179] eastward [04217]: they were porters [07778] in the companies [04264] of the children [01121] of Levi [03878].

16 When they have a matter [01697], they come [0935] unto me; and I judge [08199] between one [0376] and another [07453], and I do make them know [03045] the statutes [02706] of God [0430], and his laws [08451].
