Contextual Overview

14 From the Levites were Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari. 15 There were Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph. 16 There was Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun. And there was Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the towns of the Netophathites. 17 The gate-keepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their brothers. (Shallum was the leader 18 who was at the king's gate on the east side.) These were the gate-keepers for the family group of the Levites. 19 Shallum the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brothers of his father's house, were the Korahites. They led the work, and they watched the doors of the meeting tent. Their fathers had taken care of the tents of the Lord, and had watched the doors. 20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar had ruled over them before. And the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah watched the gate of the meeting tent. 22 There were 212 of those who were chosen to watch the gates. Their names were written down by families in their towns. David and Samuel the man of God chose them for places of trust. 23 So they and their sons were gate-keepers of the Lord's house, the holy tent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary,.... They were committed to their care; they delivered them out on occasion, and their business was to see that they were returned when they had done their use and service:

and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices; which were used in meat offerings, drink offerings, &c. see 1 Chronicles 26:20 under the second temple, Ahiah was over the libations or drink offerings x.

x Ibid. (Misn. Shekalim, c. 5. sect. 1.)
