Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they cast lots,.... To determine at which gate each should stand, who at this gate, and who at the other, c.

as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate meaning, not little ones and grown persons in a family, but the smaller and poorer families, and the larger and richer ones, had their places assigned them at the several gates, as the lot directed; they did not go according to the dignity and precedence of their families, but according to lot.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 26:13. They cast lots - for every gate. — None of these captains or their companies were permitted to choose which gate they would guard, but each took his appointment by lot.
