Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

mighty men of valour: They were not only porters, or door keepers, in the ordinary sense of the word, but they were a military guard to the gate, as Dr. Delaney suggests that the word shoarim should be rendered here, and perhaps in this sense alone are we to understand their office, which appears to have been of considerable dignity, and conferred only on men of the first rank. They were appointed to attend the temple, to guard all the avenues to it, to open and shut all the outer gates, and attend at them, not only for state but for service. They were also required to direct and instruct those who were going to worship in the courts of the sanctuary in the conduct they were to observe, to encourage those who were timid, to send back the strangers and unclean, and to guard against thieves and others who were enemies to the house of God. 1 Chronicles 26:8, 1 Chronicles 12:28, Judges 6:12, 2 Samuel 2:7, *marg. 2 Chronicles 26:17, Nehemiah 11:14, 1 Timothy 6:12, 2 Timothy 2:3

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 9:13 - very able men 1 Chronicles 26:30 - men of valour 1 Chronicles 26:32 - men of valour

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Also unto Shemaiah his son,.... His firstborn, 1 Chronicles 26:4

were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father; were heads of families, eminent and principal men:

for they were mighty men of valour; which their office sometimes required them to be, to guard the temple at night as well as day from thieves and robbers, and to hinder resolute men entering in, unfit for it, and seize on rioters, and quell tumults raised.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 26:6. They were mighty men of valour. — They were not only porters or door-keepers in the ordinary sense of the word, but they were a military guard for the gates: and perhaps in this sense alone we are to understand their office.
