Context of 1 Chronicles 9:22

20And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him. 21And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. All these who were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their charge. 23So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by watch. 24In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-34The Chronicler explains how people and institutions returning from the exile in Babylon connected with the past.
