1 Chronicles 9:26
"For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office,.... The four chief porters who were over all the two hundred and twelve, and had one over them,

Ch1 9:17 , these were never changed, nor went into the country villages; but were always upon the spot, and in their office, superintending the rest: and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God; see Ch1 26:20 .
