1 Chronicles 26:17

“Eastward were six Levites, etc.] The eastern gate, being the way of entrance into the temple, required more porters: northward four a day; in the daytime, or every day, where was the gate Teri or Tedi, (<132614>1 Chronicles 26:14), southward four a day: at the two gates of Huldah, (<132615>1 Chronicles 26:15) and toward Asuppim two and two; which were two gates, two at each gate, (<132615>1 Chronicles 26:15).”

“Eastward were six Levites--because the gate there was the most frequented. There were four at the north gate; four at the south, at the storehouse which was adjoining the south, and which had two entrance gates, one leading in a southwesterly direction to the city, and the other direct west, two porters each. At the Parbar towards the west, there were six men posted--four at the causeway or ascent (Ch1 26:16), and two at Parbar, amounting to twenty-four in all, who were kept daily on guard.”

“Toward Asuppim two and two - It is conjectured that the “store-house” in question (1 Chronicles 26:15 note) had two doors, to each of which two porters were appointed. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Six - For that being the chief gate of the temple required a better guard. 1 Chronicles 26:20”
