Commentary

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 26:1

Theological / Devotional

Porters. Chapter 26 deals with the 24 courses of porters or warders (vs. 1–19), the overseers of the treasures of the sanctuary (vs. 20–28), and the officials charged with “outward business over Israel,” such as officers and judges (vs. 29–32).

Asaph. This is not the Asaph of ch. 25:2, who was a Gershonite (ch. 6:39–43). The Korhites, descendants of Korah, were Kohathite Levites (Ex. 6:18, 21; Num. 16:1).
