SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:24
Y estaban los porteros a los cuatro vientos, al oriente, al occidente, al septentrión, y al mediodía.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. In four quarters were the porters , etc.] For, according to the Targum on ( 1 Chronicles 9:22) there were twenty four wards: towards the east, west, north, and south ; and, as the same paraphrase has it, six wards to the east, six to the west, six to the north, and six to the south.
Matthew Henry Commentary

Here is an accoun of the good state into which the affairs of religion were put, on the return from Babylon. Every one knew his charge. Work is likely to be done well when every one knows the duty of his place, and makes business of it. God is the God of order. Thus was the temple a figur of the heavenly one, where they rest not day nor night from praisin God, Re 4:8. Blessed be His name, believers there shall, not in turn but all together, without interruption, praise him night and day: ma the Lord make each of us fit for the inheritance of the saints in light __________________________________________________________________
