Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the divisions: There were four classes of these, each of which belonged to the four gates of the temple, which opened to the four cardinal points of heaven. The eastern gate fell to Shelemiah; the northern to Zechariah - 1 Chronicles 26:14, the southern to Obed-edom - 1 Chronicles 26:15, and the western to Shuppim and Hosah - 1 Chronicles 26:16. These several persons were captains of these porter-bands, or door-keepers, at the different gates. There were probably a thousand men under each of these captains; as we find, from 1 Chronicles 23:5, that their whole number was four thousand.

Asaph: This variation arises from the rejection of the word ×× [Strong's H1], av, "father," and the mutation of ×, yood, into ×, aleph; being written in the parallel passages ×××סף [Strong's H43], Ebiasaph, and here ×סף [Strong's H623], Asaph. 1 Chronicles 6:37, 1 Chronicles 9:19, Ebiasaph

Cross-References
Now after the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived at Beer-lahai-roi.
Now there was a famine in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.
The LORD appeared to him and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land of which I will tell you.
He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over that one; so he named it Rehoboth (broad places), saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be prosperous in the land."
Now on the same day, Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug, saying, "We have found water."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Concerning the divisions of the porters,.... Or doorkeepers, whose business it was to open and shut the doors of the temple, to keep all impure and improper persons from entering into it, or any of the vessels being carried out of it, and to prevent tumults and riots about it; these, as it seems, David divided into a like number of classes, as the singers, to take their turns in waiting:
of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph; not Asaph the singer, who was a Gershonite, but the same with Eliasaph, 1 Chronicles 6:23 a Korhite.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The porters - See 1Ch 9:17-27; 1 Chronicles 23:5.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXVI
Verse 1 Chronicles 26:1. The divisions of the porters — There were four classes of these, each of which belonged to one of the four gates of the temple, which opened to the four cardinal points of heaven. The eastern gate fell to Shelemiah; the northern, to Zechariah, 1 Chronicles 26:14; the southern, to Obed-edom, 1 Chronicles 26:15; the western, to Shuppim and Hosah, 1 Chronicles 26:16. These several persons were captains of these porter-bands or door-keepers at the different gates. There were probably a thousand men under each of these captains; as we find, from 1 Chronicles 23:5, that there were four thousand in all.
