Rombongan-rombongan para penunggu pintu itu, yang dibagi menurut kepala kaum, mempunyai tugas melayani di rumah TUHAN, sama seperti saudara-saudara sesuku mereka.
Maka dari pada mereka itu juga adalah segala pangkat penunggu pintu, sekadar kepala laki-laki, ditentukan pengawalannya sama rata di antara segala saudaranya, akan melakukan pekerjaan di dalam rumah Tuhan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men,.... These before named were the principal men of the porters, among which was a division or distribution of them into classes or courses, in which they served weekly in turn:
having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the Lord; meaning either to watch in, as on the north against the south, and the east against the west, and "vice versa". The Jews say t, the priests kept ward in three places in the house of the sanctuary; in the house of Abtines, in the house of Nitzotz, and in the house of Moked; and the Levites in twenty one places, five at the five gates of the mountain of the house, four at the four corners of it within, five at the five gates of the court, four at the four corners of it without, one at the chamber of the offering, one at the chamber of the vail, and another behind the house of atonement, the holy of holies; but rather the sense is, that they had wards or courses answerable to those of the priests, and the other Levites, the singers, and were distributed into twenty four classes or courses as they, which are thus reckoned by Kimchi; at the east six, at the north four, at the south four, at Asuppim two and two, which were four, at the west four, and at Parbar two; lo, twenty four; see 1 Chronicles 26:17.
t Misn. Middot, c. 1. sect. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This verse is obscure, but its probable meaning is the following: “To these divisions of the porters, principal men, (were assigned) the watches, together with their brethren, for service in the house of the Lord;” i. e., the “chief men” 1 Chronicles 26:1-11, amounting to no more than 93, kept the watch and ward of the house, together with a further number of their brethren (4,000, 1 Chronicles 23:5), who assisted them from time to time.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 26:12. The rest of this chapter, with the whole of the xxviiith, is wanting both in the Syriac and Arabic.
