SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:16
Por Supim y Hosa al occidente, con la puerta de Salequet al camino de la subida, guardia contra guardia.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 26:16
Verse 16. The gate Shallecheth] The gate of the projections: probably that through which all the offal of the temple was carried out.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward , etc.] Of Shuppim no mention is before made; of Hosah, (see 1 Chronicles 26:10,11) their lot was to be placed at the gates on the western wall, where were four; the two more southward being assigned to the sons of Obededom, whose lot also was southward, are taken notice of under the division in the preceding verse; Parbar was another, ( 1 Chronicles 26:18), and another follows here: with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up ; this gate was in later times called Coponius, from the name of a Roman commander, in the times of Herod, who might give it this name on his account; it might have the name of Shallecheth either from “sending out”, or carrying out the filth of the temple through it; or rather from “casting up the causeway”, as here expressed, which was the going up, or ascent, Solomon made, by which he went up to the temple, ( 1 Kings 20:5) and which agrees with the description Josephus gives of one of the gates on the western wall, that it led to the royal palace, the valley between being filled up for the passage; on each side of which causeway, it is said, grew oaks and teil trees, (see Isaiah 6:13) which served both to keep up the causeway, and to make a fine, pleasant, shady walk for the king to pass through to the temple; all which are observed by Dr. Lightfoot f117 : ward against ward ; for as the gates answered one another, so the wards or watches at them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The offices of the Levites. --The porters and treasurers of the temple, had occasion for strengt and valour to oppose those who wrongly attempted to enter the sanctuary, and to guard the sacred treasures. Much was expended dail upon the altar; flour, wine, oil, salt, fuel, beside the lamps quantities of these were kept beforehand, besides the sacred vestment and utensils. These were the treasures of the house of God. Thes treasures typified the plenty there is in our heavenly Father's house enough and to spare. From those sacred treasuries, the unsearchabl riches of Christ, all our wants are supplied; and receiving from his fulness, we must give him the glory, and endeavour to dispose of ou abilities and substance according to his will. We have an account of those employed as officers and judges. The magistracy is an ordinanc of God for the good of the church, as truly as the ministry, and mus not be neglected. None of the Levites who were employed in the servic of the sanctuary, none of the singers or porters, were concerned in this outward business; one duty was enough to engage the whole man Wisdom, courage, strength of faith, holy affections, and constancy of mind in doing our duty, are requisite or useful for every station __________________________________________________________________
