Contextual Overview

44 At that time the leaders appointed men to be in charge of the storerooms. These rooms were for the gifts, the firstfruits, and the ten percent that the people brought. The Teachings said they should bring a share for the priests and Levites from the fields around the towns. The people of Judah were happy to do this for the priests and Levites who served. 45 They performed the service of their God in making things pure. The singers and gatekeepers also did their jobs, as David had commanded his son Solomon. 46 Earlier, in the time of David and Asaph, there was a leader of the singers and of the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. 47 So it was in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah. All the people of Israel gave something to the singers and gatekeepers, and they also set aside part for the Levites. Then the Levites set aside part for the descendants of Aaron.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the singers: 1 Chronicles 25:1 - 1 Chronicles 26:32

the ward: That is, they suffered no unclean person to enter the temple. 1 Chronicles 23:28, 2 Chronicles 23:6

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 6:32 - and then 1 Chronicles 9:23 - the oversight Nehemiah 13:9 - they cleansed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of their purification,.... The singers kept their turns in course in the temple, and were not wanting to officiate on all occasions, besides morning and evening services; and the porters they diligently kept the gates of the temple, that no impure person or thing in a ceremonial sense entered:

according to the commandment of David, and Solomon his son; who made very good rules and orders relative to the better and more regular performance of service by them; see 1 Chronicles 25:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The ward of the purification - The observances with respect to purification. Compare 1 Chronicles 23:28.
