1 Chron 26:1–32 See 9:17–27 and 23:4a. The Levitical gatekeepers were to safeguard the sanctuary from trespassers and from idolatrous practices (see 2 Chron. 29:3–7). They were also responsible for the temple treasuries and for maintaining the building and its equipment (see 1 Chron. 9:22–32).
1 Chron 26:1–11 Obed-edom is probably the Philistine who had acted as caretaker for the ark (13:14). This suggests the early kings were not very strict about who might count as a “Levite.”
1 Chron 26:12–19 The assignment of duties by lot. The east gate (v. 14) was the position of greatest responsibility, requiring six gatekeepers because it led directly to the temple entrance. It was known as “the king’s gate” in postexilic times (9:18).
1 Chron 26:20–28 The two treasuries were near the gates (see 9:26). One was for the house of God, presumably to store regular tithes and offerings. The other was for the dedicated gifts, that is, items taken in war (see 18:11) and other special gifts.
1 Chron 26:29–32 See 23:4b. Two other groups of Levites, the Izharites and the Hebronites, were assigned to serve outside Jerusalem as officers and judges among Israelite tribes both west and east of the Jordan. Hebronites were appointed for all the work of the Lord and for the service of the king, possibly religious and civil taxation and administration, in the last year of David’s rule (c. 970 b.c.; 26:31; see 29:27).
