PORTERS

Nave's Topical Bible

Guards at the city gates, the doors of the king’ s palace, and doors of the temple

Lodged round about the temple in order to be present for opening the doors

One-third were porters of the temple

One-third were porters of the king’ s house

One-third were porters of the gate of the foundation

They also served as porters of the gates of the walls

They served in twenty-four courses

Their posts were determined by lot
