Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The divisions of the porters - The account of the porters here given makes them only twenty-four in number at any one time; Ch1 23:5 states that the duty was discharged by 4,000 persons. Perhaps of the 93 chief porters here spoken of Ch1 26:8-9, Ch1 26:11, Ch1 26:24 were always on guard as officers, while of the remaining 3,907, a certain proportion were each day on duty as their subordinates.
