Bible Verse Review

Asuppim: Heb. gatherings, [Strong's H624], 1 Chronicles 26:17, 2 Chronicles 25:24, Nehemiah 12:25, Ecclesiastes 12:11, Or collections; probably the place where either the supplies of the porters, or the offerings made for the priests and Levites, were laid up. Obed-edom is said to have had the charge of the treasures, etc., in 2 Chronicles 25:24.
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 15:18 - Obededom
Gill's Notes on the Bible
To Obededom southward,.... Where were two gates in later times, called the gates of Huldah x:
and to his sons, the house of Asuppim; the word has the signification of gathering, hence some take it to be a council house, where the sanhedrim or elders gathered together, and sat; and others, rather a treasure house, where things of value were collected and laid up, since Obededom had the charge of gold and silver, and the vessels of the house, 2 Chronicles 25:24, but Dr. Lightfoot y is of opinion, that
"Asuppim were two gates in the western wall, which stood most south, or nearest to Jerusalem; "and the house of Asuppim" was a large piece of building that ran between them, which was a treasury, or various rooms for treasuring or laying up something for the use of the temple;''
though L'Empereur thinks z it was the chamber Korban, which is not so probable.
x Ib. (Misn. Middot), c. 1. sect. 3. y Prospect of the Temple, ch. 5. sect. 3. z Not. in Middot, c. 1. sect. 1. No. 5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The house of Asuppim - literally, “the house of collections” (see the margin and compare Nehemiah 12:25 margin). A treasure-house of some kind or other is probably intended.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 26:15. The house of Asuppim. — The house of the collections; the place where either the supplies of the porters, or the offerings made for the use of the priests and Levites, were laid up.
