Raamattu Bible

1. Aikakirja 9:22

Kaikkiaan oli kynnyksien ovenvartijoiksi valittuja kaksisataa kaksitoista; he olivat kylissään merkityt sukuluetteloon. Daavid ja Samuel, näkijä, olivat asettaneet heidät heidän luottamustoimeensa.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

All those that were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve,.... As fixed in the days of David, and might not be fewer:

these were reckoned by their genealogies in their villages; where they dwelt:

whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office; the scheme was first drawn by Samuel the prophet, and communicated to David, who put it into execution, to be constantly and perpetually observed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The porters, like the singers Nehemiah 12:29, dwelt for the most part in the villages round Jerusalem. They were the descendants of those originally selected for the work by David. David’s arrangements are here regarded as having had the sanction of Samuel - which would imply that he planned them in the lifetime of Saul, while he was still a fugitive and an outlaw.
