SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:13
También velaban sobre los cargadores, y eran sobrestantes de los que se ocupaban en cualquier clase de obra; y de los levitas había escribas, gobernadores, y porteros.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Also they were over the bearers of burdens , etc.] Who carried the timber and stones to the workmen, to look after them, that they were not dilatory, and that the workmen might not stand still for want of materials being brought to them to work with: and were overseers over all that wrought in any manner of service ; whether in the way of masonry, or in that of carpenters, or of such that served them, or in whatsoever way: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters ; some to take the account of the money carried in and paid, who were the scribes , according to Jarchi; and others who looked after the men, and kept them to work, who were the officers ; and others that let them in and out, called porters .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Josiah's good reign in Judah. --As the years of infancy cannot be useful to our fellow-creatures, ou earliest youth should be dedicated to God, that we may not waste any of the remaining short space of life. Happy and wise are those who see the Lord and prepare for usefulness at an early age, when others ar pursuing sinful pleasures, contracting bad habits, and forming ruinou connexions. Who can express the anguish prevented by early piety, an its blessed effects? Diligent self-examination and watchfulness wil convince us of the deceitfulness and wickedness of our own hearts, an the sinfulness of our lives. We are here encouraged to humble ourselve before God, and to seek unto him, as Josiah did. And believers are her taught, not to fear death, but to welcome it, when it takes them awa from the evil to come. Nothing hastens the ruin of a people, nor ripen them for it, more than their disregard of the attempts made for their reformation. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. The current and tid of affections only turns at the command of Him who raises up those tha are dead in trespasses and sins. We behold peculiar loveliness, in the grace the Lord bestows on those, who in tender years seek to know an to love the Saviour. Hath Jesus, the Day-spring from on high, visite you? Can you trace your knowledge of this light and life of man, lik Josiah, from your youth? Oh the unspeakable happiness of becomin acquainted with Jesus from our earliest years __________________________________________________________________
