Parallel Verses English Standard Version Of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites— King James Bible Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: American Standard Version Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, of the Uzzielites: Douay-Rheims Bible With the Amramites, and Isaarites, and Hebronites, and Ozielites. English Revised Version Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, of the Uzzielites: Webster's Bible Translation Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 1 Chronicles 26:23 Parallel Commentary Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old TestamentSettlement of the number of guard-stations at the various sides and places. Towards morning (on the east side) were six of the Levites (six kept guard); towards the north by day (i.e., daily, on each day), four; towards the south daily, four; and at the storehouse two and two, consequently four also; at Parbar towards the west, four on the highway and two at Parbar, i.e., six. In all, therefore, there were twenty-four guard-stations to be occupied daily; but more than twenty-four persons were required, because, even supposing that one man at a time was sufficient for each post, one man could not stand the whole day at it: he must have been relieved from time to time. Probably, however, there were always more than one person on guard at each post. It further suggests itself that the number twenty-four may be in some way connected with the divisions or classes of doorkeepers; but there is only a deceptive appearance of a connection. The division of the priests and musicians each into twenty-four classes respectively is no sufficient analogy in the case, for these classes had to perform the service in succession each for a week at a time, while the twenty-four doorkeepers' stations had to be all occupied simultaneously every day. - In 1 Chronicles 26:2-11, then, twenty-eight heads in all are enumerated by name (Meshelemiah with seven sons, Obed-edom with eight sons and six grandsons, and Hosah with four sons); but the total number in all the three families of doorkeepers is stated at ninety-three, and neither the one nor the other of these numbers bears any relation to twenty-four. Finally, the posts are so distributed that Meshelemiah with his eighteen sons and brothers kept guard on the east and north sides with six posts; Obed-edom with his sixty-two sons and brothers on the south side with four and 2 x 2, that is, eight posts; and Hosah with his thirteen sons and brothers on the western side with four and two, that is, six; so that even here no symmetrical distribution of the service can be discovered.
