They were door-keepers for the tents of the sons of Levi. ¹⁹ And Shallum, the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his family, the Korahites, were responsible for everything which had to be done in connection with the order of worship, keepers of the doors of the Tent; their fathers had had the care of the tents of the Lord, being keepers of the doorway. ²⁰ In the past Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, had been ruler over them; may the Lord be with him! ²¹ Zechariah, the son of Meshelemiah, was keeper of the door of the Tent of meeting. ²² There were two hundred and twelve whose business it was to keep the doorway. These were listed by families in the country places where they were living, whom David and Samuel the seer put in their responsible positions. ²³ So they and their sons had the care of the doors of the house of the Lord, the house of the Tent, as watchers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. For though the Levites had the care of the spices, they might not make the ointment with them, only the priests, see Exodus 30:23.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 30. The sons of the priests made the ointment — Only the priests were permitted to make this ointment; all others were forbidden to do it on pain of death; see Exodus 30:34-38, and the notes there.
