Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari. For among those Levites which descended from Kore, a grandson of Kohath, and which sprung from Merar, a brother of Kohath, the porters only wore; see 1Ch 26:1.

The divisions of the porters - The account of the porters here given makes them only twenty-four in number at any one time; 1Ch 23:5 states that the duty was discharged by 4,000 persons. Perhaps of the 93 chief porters here spoken of 1Ch 26:8-9, 1Ch 26:11, 1Ch 26:24 were always on guard as officers, while of the remaining 3,907, a certain proportion were each day on duty as their subordinates.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

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.
