SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:25
Matanías y Bacbuquías, Obadías, Mesulam, Talmón y Acub, guardas, eran porteros para la guardia a las entradas de las puertas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 12:25
Verse 25. The thresholds of the gates.] Some understand this of a sort of porticoes at the gates, and are puzzled about it, because they find no mention of porticoes elsewhere: but why may we not suppose these to resemble our watch-boxes or some temporary moveable shelters for those who took care of the gates? That there must have been some such conveniences, common sense dictates.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters , etc.] At the gates of the temple, (see 1 Chronicles 9:15-17), keeping the ward, at the thresholds of the gates ; of the temple, where they stood and watched; or “at the collection of the gates”, meaning either where the people were gathered together, or where money gathered was laid up; and so some render it, “the treasuries of the gates”: unless a place called Asuppim should be meant, ( 1 Chronicles 26:15,17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-26 - It is a debt we owe to faithful ministers, to remember our guides, wh have spoken to us the word of God. It is good to know what our godl predecessors were, that we may learn what we should be.
