SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:14
Y constituyó los repartimientos de los sacerdotes en sus oficios, conforme a la ordenación de David su padre: los levitas por sus guardas, para que alabasen y ministrasen delante de los sacerdotes, cada cosa en su día; y los porteros por su guarda a cada puerta; porque así lo había mandado David, varón de Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service , etc.] The twenty four courses which served weekly in their turns, ( 1 Chronicles 24:1-31) and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as duty of every day required ; who also had their courses by lot, to sing the praises of God, when the priests sacrificed, or blew the trumpets, ( <132501> Chronicles 25:1-31), the porters also by their courses at every gate ; from hence Dr. Lightfoot concludes that these were divided into twenty four classes, as the priests and Levite singers were: for so had David the man of God commanded , ( 1 Chronicles 26:1-32), who in all these affairs acted as a prophet, under the inspiration and direction of the Holy Spirit of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Solomon's buildings and trade. --It sometimes requires more wisdom and resolution to govern a famil in the fear of God, than to govern a kingdom with reputation. The difficulty is increased, when a man has a hinderance instead of a hel meet in the wife of his bosom. Solomon kept up the holy sacrifices according to the law of Moses. In vain had the altar been built, in vain had fire come down from heaven, if sacrifices had not bee constantly brought. Spiritual sacrifices are required of us, which we are to bring daily and weekly; it is good to be in a settled method of devotion. When the service of the temple was put into good order, it is said, The house of the Lord was perfected. The work was the mai matter, not the place; the temple was unfinished till all this wa done. Canaan was a rich country, and yet must send to Ophir for gol The Israelites were a wise people, but must be beholden to the king of Tyre for men that had knowledge of the seas. Grace, and not gold, is the best riches, and acquaintance with God and his law, the bes knowledge. Leaving the children of this world to scramble for the toy of this world, may we, as the children of God, lay up our treasure in heaven, that where our treasure is, our hearts also may be __________________________________________________________________
