Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moreover four thousand were porters,.... At the east, north, and south gates of the temple, in their turns;

and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments; were singers in the temple, which in all made up 38,000:

which I made, said David, to praise therewith; which instruments he devised and ordered to be made to praise the Lord with; see

2 Chronicles 29:26.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 23:5. Four thousand praised the Lord — David made this distribution according to his own judgment, and from the dictates of his piety; but it does not appear that he had any positive Divine authority for such arrangements. As to the instruments of music which he made they are condemned elsewhere; see Amos 6:5, to which this verse is allowed to be the parallel.
