Poole: 1Ch 9:19 - Keepers of the gates of the tabernacle // Keepers of the entry

Keepers of the gates of the tabernacle or, who were, to wit, in time past , which is expressed in a like case, 1Ch 9:20 , when the tabernacle was standing, before the temple was built. Their fathers ; the Kohathites, of whom see on Num 4:4 . Over the host of the Lord, or, with (as this Hebrew particle is oft used) the host , &c., i.e. when the Israelites were in the wilderness, encamped in a military manner round about the tabernacle, with or among whom these were then placed.

Keepers of the entry i.e. of the veil by which they entered into the tabernacle; which he calls the entry distinctively, because then there were no gates. The meaning is, that all things were now restored to their primitive order and institution; and the several persons took those places and offices upon them, which their ancestors had before them.

Haydock: 1Ch 9:19 - Service // Families

Service, to keep watch. (Calmet) ---

Families. Hebrew, "fathers over the host, (Haydock) or camp of the Lord: keepers of the entry." The Corites, though not perhaps alone, performed what their fathers had done before the tabernacle, in the desert, and in the temple of Solomon; which were considered as the camp of the great king.

Gill: 1Ch 9:19 - And Shallum the son of Kore // and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites // were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle // and their fathers being over the host of the Lord // were keepers of the entry

And Shallum the son of Kore,.... The same as in 1Ch 9:17 whose pedigree is traced up to Ebiasaph the son of Korah, see Exo 6:24.

and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites; so called, because they descended from Korah:

were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle; until the temple was built:

and their fathers being over the host of the Lord; the Levites, who were the Lord's army, and whose service is represented as a warfare, Num 4:5.

were keepers of the entry; into the tabernacle, that none might enter that were impure; or into the court of the priests, excepting priests; or into the holiest of all, as Kimchi suggests.
