1Ch 26:1-12.
DIVISIONS OF THE PORTERS.
1, 2. Concerning the divisions of the porters--There were four thousand
(1Ch 23:6),
all taken from the families of the Kohathites and Merarites
(1Ch 26:14),
divided into twenty-four courses--as the priests and musicians.
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph--Seven sons of Meshelemiah are mentioned
(1Ch 26:2),
whereas eighteen are given
(1Ch 26:9),
but in this latter number his relatives are included.

5. 神賜福給他——即俄別以東。蒙福的緣由，乃因他忠心地看守了約櫃
(2Sa 6:11, 12)。
福氣的性質
(Ps 127:5)，
在於他的家因後裔繁多而顯著；據計算，他的後代共有七十二人。
英文原文
5. God blessed him--that is, Obed-edom. The occasion of the blessing was his faithful custody of the ark
(2Sa 6:11, 12).
The nature of the blessing
(Ps 127:5)
consisted in the great increase of progeny by which his house was distinguished; seventy-two descendants are reckoned.

6. 都是大能的勇士——體力強健這一點在本章被特別標明，因為守門者的職任不但要求他們作為聖殿及其珍貴陳設的哨兵，防備搶掠者的攻擊或民眾的暴動——實際上就是軍事衛隊——而且在聖殿建成之後，還要開關那些異常巨大沉重的門。
英文原文
6. mighty men of valour--The circumstance of physical strength is prominently noticed in this chapter, as the office of the porters required them not only to act as sentinels of the sacred edifice and its precious furniture against attacks of plunderers or popular insurrection--to be, in fact, a military guard--but, after the temple was built, to open and shut the gates, which were extraordinarily large and ponderous.

10. 示姆利雖是首領……卻不是長子——大概是因為有權享有長子名分的家族已經斷絕，或者現存的家族中沒有一個能主張這項權利。
英文原文
10. Simri the chief . . . though . . . not the first-born--probably because the family entitled to the right of primogeniture had died out, or because there were none of the existing families which could claim that right.

12. 這些人作守門的班次，各有首領——他們負責監管各處的守望，是守門二十四個班次的首領。
英文原文
12. Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men--These were charged with the duty of superintending the watches, being heads of the twenty-four courses of porters.

掣籤分派各門。
13. 他們掣籤——他們的職責範圍，例如應當看守哪些門，是與其他利未人的團體一樣，用掣籤來分配的；各首領或隊長的名字也一併列出，連同各自被派的門。
英文原文
1Ch 26:13-19.
THE GATES ASSIGNED BY LOT.
13. they cast lots--Their departments of duty, such as the gates they should attend to, were allotted in the same manner as those of the other Levitical bodies, and the names of the chiefs or captains are given, with the respective gates assigned them.

15. 聚集之屋——或作「收藏」，大概是一間庫房，用來存放為祭司的供應而獻上的穀物、酒和其他供物。
英文原文
15. the house of Asuppim--or, "collections," probably a storehouse, where were kept the grain, wine, and other offerings for the sustenance of the priests.

16. 書亞利門——大概是垃圾門，聖殿及其各院一切積存的污物和清掃之物都由此傾倒出去。
上坡道——大概是一條從錫安山與摩利亞山之間的深谷中築起或抬高的上行道路，供王外出前往敬拜之所
(2Ch 9:4)。
班對班——有人將這話指書平和何薩，他們的職責是同時看守西門和對面的書亞利門；另有人則視之為適用於所有守衛的概括說法，意指他們按固定的距離彼此駐守，或他們都按統一的次序同時換崗。
英文原文
16. the gate Shallecheth--probably the rubbish gate, through which all the accumulated filth and sweepings of the temple and its courts were poured out.
by the causeway of the going up--probably the ascending road which was cast up or raised from the deep valley between Mount Zion and Moriah, for the royal egress to the place of worship
(2Ch 9:4).
ward against ward--Some refer these words to Shuppim and Hosah, whose duty it was to watch both the western gate and the gate Shallecheth, which was opposite, while others take it as a general statement applicable to all the guards, and intended to intimate that they were posted at regular distances from each other, or that they all mounted and relieved guard at the same time in uniform order.

17-19. 東方有六個利未人——因為那裏的門最為繁忙。北門有四人；南門、靠近南邊府庫之處有四人；府庫有兩個入口，一個朝西南通往城內，另一個朝正西，各有兩名守門者。在西邊的帕巴珥，駐有六人——四人在坡道或上行的路
(1Ch 26:16)，
兩人在帕巴珥——合計二十四人，每日當值。
英文原文
17-19. Eastward were six Levites--because the gate there was the most frequented. There were four at the north gate; four at the south, at the storehouse which was adjoining the south, and which had two entrance gates, one leading in a southwesterly direction to the city, and the other direct west, two porters each. At the Parbar towards the west, there were six men posted--four at the causeway or ascent
(1Ch 26:16),
and two at Parbar, amounting to twenty-four in all, who were kept daily on guard.

18. 帕巴珥——大概與帕瓦（「郊外」，
2Ki 23:11）
相同；若然，這門之所以得名，可能是因為它通往郊外〔CALMET〕。
英文原文
18. Parbar--is, perhaps, the same as Parvar ("suburbs,"
2Ki 23:11),
and if so, this gate might be so called as leading to the suburbs [CALMET].

管理府庫的利未人。
20. 利未人中亞希雅——這一節的標題照目前的樣子完全難以理解，因為看起來神聖的史家似乎要開始一個與前文不同的新主題。此外，「亞希雅」這名字出現在「利未人」之後，在先前的名單中並未提及。這名字完全是陌生的，並且是突然引入的，沒有任何進一步的說明；最後，亞希雅必定是在自己一身之內集合了以下各節所列其任職者所擔任的那些職務。現有的讀法是不正確的。七十士譯本有這個非常合適的標題：「他們的利未弟兄管理府庫」等〔BERTHEAU〕。
各人負責其所在班次的府庫之人的名字被列出，並對交託他們保管珍貴之物作了一般的描述。那些財寶為數巨大，包括以色列歷次勝利所累積的擄物，以及大衛和百姓的代表們所作的自願捐獻。
英文原文
1Ch 26:20-28.
LEVITES THAT HAD CHARGE OF THE TREASURES.
20. of the Levites, Ahijah--The heading of this section is altogether strange as it stands, for it looks as if the sacred historian were going to commence a new subject different from the preceding. Besides, "Ahijah, whose name occurs after" the Levites, is not mentioned in the previous lists. It is totally unknown and is introduced abruptly without further information; and lastly, Ahijah must have united in his own person those very offices of which the occupants are named in the verses that follow. The reading is incorrect. The Septuagint has this very suitable heading, "And their Levitical brethren over the treasures," &c. [BERTHEAU]. The names of those who had charge of the treasure chambers at their respective wards are given, with a general description of the precious things committed to their trust. Those treasures were immense, consisting of the accumulated spoils of Israelitish victories, as well as of voluntary contributions made by David and the representatives of the people.

1Ch 26:29-32.
官長與士師。
29. 官長和士師——譯作「官長」的那個詞，是表示文士或書記的用語，所以此處所描述的利未階層乃是官長，他們在書記的陪同下執行司法職務；他們共有六千人
(1Ch 23:4)，
大概像他們的弟兄一樣按輪流的原則辦事，並且分為三類——一類
(1Ch 26:29)
管理以色列的外事；一類
(1Ch 26:30)，
共一千七百人，管理約但河西「耶和華的一切事務和王的事奉」；第三類
(1Ch 26:31, 32)，
共二千七百人，「作官長辦理每一件關乎神的事，以及王的事務」。
英文原文
1Ch 26:29-32.
OFFICERS AND JUDGES.
29. officers and judges--The word rendered "officers" is the term which signifies scribes or secretaries, so that the Levitical class here described were magistrates, who, attended by their clerks, exercised judicial functions; there were six thousand of them
(1Ch 23:4),
who probably acted like their brethren on the principle of rotation, and these were divided into three classes--one
(1Ch 26:29)
for the outward business over Israel; one
(1Ch 26:30),
consisting of seventeen hundred, for the west of Jordan "in all business of the Lord, and in the service of the king"; and the third
(1Ch 26:31, 32),
consisting of twenty-seven hundred, "rulers for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king."
1Ch 26:1-12.
守門人的班次
1, 2. 論到守門人的班次——共有四千人
(1Ch 23:6),
全數取自哥轄與米拉利家族
(1Ch 26:14),
分為二十四個班次——與祭司和樂師一樣。
可利的兒子米施利米雅,亞薩的兒子——提到米施利米雅有七個兒子
(1Ch 26:2),
而另一處給的是十八個
(1Ch 26:9),
但後一數目包括了其親屬。
