1 Chronicles 9:21 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Zechariah was porter Chief porter, namely, in the time of David, as the following verse shows. Of the door of the tabernacle The door which led out of the priests' court into the tabernacle, in which the ark was placed. Before the temple was built, they had a mean and moveable tent which they made use of in the mean time. They that cannot yet have a temple, let them be thankful for a tabernacle, and make the best use of it. Never let God's work be left undone, for want of a place to do it in.
