The house of Asuppim - literally, “the house of collections” (see the margin and compare Neh 12:25 margin). A treasure-house of some kind or other is probably intended.
This site's exposition
having wards one against another
on 1 Chronicles 26:12-19
The chief gatekeepers cast lots for their posts the same way the singers of chapter 25 were assigned by lot rather than preference, small families and great families bound by the same draw. The four gates take the compass points, east to Shelemiah, north to Zechariah, south to Obed-edom, west to Shuppim and Hosah, and two further posts, the house of Asuppim and the gate Shallecheth, are recorded though the temple that will stand around them is not yet built. Twenty-four men on watch at any hour serve a house that still exists only as an assignment on paper.
