the divisions There were four classes of these, each of which belonged to the four gates of the temple, which opened to the four cardinal points of heaven. The eastern gate fell to Shelemiah; the northern to Zechariah (ver 14.) the southern to Obed-edom (ver 15) and the western to Shuppim and Hosah (ver 16). These several persons were captains of these porter-bands, or door-keepers, at the different gates. There were probably a thousand men under each of these captains; as we find, from 1ch 23:5, that their whole number was four thousand.
