Gill's Notes on the Bible
In four quarters were the porters,.... For, according to the Targum on 1 Chronicles 9:22 there were twenty four wards:
towards the east, west, north, and south; and, as the same paraphrase has it, six wards to the east, six to the west, six to the north, and six to the south.
