So they and their descendants
This phrase refers to the Levites, specifically the gatekeepers, who were appointed to serve in the temple. The role of the Levites was hereditary, passed down through generations, as established in the time of Moses (Numbers 3:5-10). This hereditary service underscores the importance of maintaining a continuous and faithful lineage dedicated to the service of God.

were assigned to guard the gates
Guarding the gates was a significant responsibility, ensuring the sanctity and security of the temple. This task involved both physical protection and the regulation of who could enter, maintaining the purity of worship. The role of gatekeepers is also mentioned in1 Chronicles 26, highlighting their importance in temple service. This duty symbolizes spiritual vigilance, akin to the New Testament call for believers to be watchful (1 Peter 5:8).

of the house of the LORD
The "house of the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for the Israelites. It was the dwelling place of God's presence among His people, as initially established with the Tabernacle. The temple's significance is seen throughout the Old Testament as a place of sacrifice, prayer, and divine encounter (1 Kings 8:10-11).

the house called the Tent
This phrase connects the temple to its predecessor, the Tabernacle, which was a portable sanctuary used during Israel's wilderness wanderings. The term "Tent" emphasizes the continuity of God's dwelling with His people, from the Tabernacle to the permanent structure of the temple. This continuity is a type of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14), fulfilling the ultimate presence of God with humanity.

Teaching Points
Faithfulness in Service
The gatekeepers were entrusted with a significant responsibility. This teaches us the importance of being faithful in whatever role God assigns us, no matter how small it may seem.

Generational Legacy
The assignment of duties to descendants underscores the importance of passing down faith and responsibilities to future generations. We should strive to leave a spiritual legacy for our children.

Guarding Holiness
Just as the gatekeepers protected the sanctity of the temple, we are called to guard our hearts and lives, ensuring that we remain pure and holy before God.

Continuity of Worship
The reference to the Tent reminds us of the continuity of worship from the Tabernacle to the Temple. Our worship should be consistent and enduring, regardless of circumstances.

• “They” refers to the gatekeepers from the clan of the Korahites and Merarites named in1 Chronicles 9:17–22.

• Scripture underlines generational faithfulness:

–Exodus 20:6—God shows love “to a thousand generations of those who love Me.”

–2 Timothy 1:5—faith lived out in Lois, Eunice, and Timothy.

to guard the gates

• Gatekeeping involved:

– Physical security of holy space (2 Kings 12:9).

– Regulating entrance for purity and preparedness (Psalm 24:3–6).

– Protecting sacred articles (1 Chronicles 26:20).

• Spiritually, gates symbolize access to God’s presence; faithful guardianship points to vigilance against doctrinal and moral compromise (Acts 20:28–31).

of the house of the LORD

• “House” signifies the settled dwelling of God among His people, prefiguring the future temple (1 Kings 8:10–13).

The verse teaches generational responsibility, divine appointment, vigilant protection of holy access, and the enduring reality of God dwelling with His people—from Tent to Temple to Christ’s church.

Verses 23-26. - (See above and1 Chronicles 26:12-19.) For thechief porters, Bertheau suggests, as an analogous expression,στρατηγοῖ (Luke 22:52).Thechambers. We have the account of Solomon's building of these in1 Kings 6:5-10, 16, 19; it is scarcely likely that the "chamber of mattresses" of2 Kings 11:2 was one of these, though the language of the following verse looks that way (comp. alsoEzekiel 46:5-11).And treasuries. These were store-houses (הָאועְרות) for gold, silver, as pertaining to the temple, though of corn, etc., in other connections (1 Kings 7:51;2 Kings 12:18;2 Chronicles 5:1;1 Chronicles 27:25).
