And Shallum the son of Kore, etc.] The same as in (<130917>1 Chronicles 9:17) whose pedigree is traced up to Ebiasaph the son of Korah, (see <020624>Exodus 6:24) and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites; so called, because they descended from Korah: [were over] the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle; until the temple was built: and their fathers being over the host of the Lord; the Levites, who were the Lord’s army, and whose service is represented as a warfare, (<040405>Numbers 4:5) [were] keepers of the entry; into the tabernacle, that none might enter that were impure; or into the court of the priests, excepting priests; or into the holiest of all, as Kimchi suggests.
