1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 9:17 The Levitical gatekeepers’ authority is traced to their service under Phinehas (v. 1 Chronicles 9:20; see Numbers 25:6) and their appointment by David (1 Chronicles 9:22; 1 Chronicles 26:1). Along with their primary duty of safeguarding the temple, the gatekeepers were also responsible for the utensils and supplies used in the daily sacrifices (1 Chronicles 9:28).
