So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

As well them as their sons, to keep the gates of the house of the Lord, and the tabernacle by their turns.

And they and their sons were at the gates of the house of Jehovah, the house of the tent, to keep watch there.

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

And they and their sons are over the gates of the house of Jehovah, even of the house of the tent, by watches.

So they and their sons had the care of the doors of the house of the Lord, the house of the Tent, as watchers.

as with them, so also with their sons, at the gates of the house of the Lord and the tabernacle, by their turns.

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the Lord,.... They that were appointed in David's time to watch the gates of the temple, their posterity succeeded them in that office; for it was hereditary:
namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards; that which was at Gibeon in David's time, and now one was erected until the temple was built.

The oversight - Namely, in David's time. Tabernacle - This is added to explain what he means by the house of the Lord, not that tabernacle which David had set up for the ark; but that more solemn tabernacle, which Moses had made by God's express command; which in David's time was at Gibeon; in which God was worshipped until the temple was built. Wards - By turns or courses.
