Their offerings The gatekeepers: Gatekeepers held an important role in the temple, responsible for maintaining the security and sanctity of the sacred space. Their duties included opening and closing the gates, ensuring that only those who were ceremonially clean could enter. This role is reminiscent of the spiritual vigilance required of believers, as seen in passages like 1 Peter 5:8, which calls for alertness against spiritual threats. The descendants of Shallum: The descendants of Ater: The descendants of Talmon: The descendants of Akkub: The descendants of Hatita: The descendants of Shobai: 139 in all: Persons / Places / Events 1. ShallumA leader among the gatekeepers, responsible for the security and order of the temple. 2. Ater Another family line of gatekeepers, contributing to the temple's protection and service. 3. Talmon A family of gatekeepers, playing a crucial role in maintaining the sanctity of the temple. 4. Akkub Part of the gatekeeping families, ensuring the temple's operations ran smoothly. 5.

Teaching Points The Importance of Service RolesThe gatekeepers, though not as prominent as priests or Levites, played a vital role in the temple's function. Every role in God's work is significant, and we should value and honor all forms of service. Faithfulness in Small Things The gatekeepers' duties required diligence and faithfulness. In our lives, being faithful in small tasks can lead to greater responsibilities and blessings. Community and Cooperation The listing of families shows the communal effort in temple service. In the church, cooperation and unity are essential for effective ministry and worship. Heritage and Legacy The mention of specific families highlights the importance of spiritual heritage. We should strive to leave a legacy of faithfulness and service for future generations. Security and Sanctity The gatekeepers ensured the temple's security, symbolizing the need to guard our hearts and communities against spiritual threats.(42) The children of the porters.--The porters, or gatekeepers, number six families, three of which appear in the old Jerusalem (1Chronicles 9:17).Verse 42. - The porters. Six families of doorkeepers returned; three of which bear old names, those of Shallum, Talmon, and Akkub (1 Chronicles 9:17), while the other three have names that are new to us. One hundred and thirty-nine. The smallness of this and the two preceding numbers is remarkable. While the returning priests numbered 4289, the returning Levites of all classes were no more than 341 (350, Nehemiah). It would seem as if some jealousy of the priests, like that which animated Korah and his followers (Numbers 16:1-10), must have grown up during the captivity (comp. below, Ezra 8:15).
