According to this chapter, a few of the Levites were
porters; gatekeepers; guards. Perhaps these men were responsible for keeping
intruders out of the temple. I Chronicles 26:17 & 18 describes the posts
for these temple guards, indicating for us that there were 24 of them
altogether who stood guard at one time.
Additionally there were some Levites who were in charge of
protecting the treasury. Certainly the vault for offerings and valuables
rightfully was to be guarded. And, there were certain Levites who didn't work
at the temple at all... they had responsibilities out among the people
throughout the nation (I Chronicles 26:29).
We all have our place of responsibility (I Corinthians 12:12
- 31). Not all assignments carry the same apparent weight, but all are
important. Let us all take our opportunities seriously and do our absolute best
to fulfill our function faithfully.
