1 Chronicles 26:15

(15) To Obed-edom (the lot fell) southward; and to his sons (fell by lot) the house of Asuppim.—“Asuppim” occurs only in 1Ch_26:15; 1Ch_26:17 of this chapter, and in Neh_12:25. It seems to mean collections, stores of provisions and material for the use of the Temple and its ministers; so that Bêth-hâ-asuppîm is the storehouse or magazine. Nothing more is known about it. (The Vulgate takes ’asuppîm to mean “Council of Elders;” confusing the word with ’asuppôth, Ecc_12:11.)

Eastward were six Levites,.... The eastern gate, being the way of entrance into the temple, required more porters:

northward four a day; in the daytime, or every day, where was the gate Teri or Tedi, Ch1 26:14, southward four a day: at the two gates of Huldah, Ch1 26:15 and toward Asuppim two and two; which were two gates, two at each gate, Ch1 26:15.

The house of Asuppim - literally, “the house of collections” (see the margin and compare Neh 12:25 margin). A treasure-house of some kind or other is probably intended.

And. Protestants, "To Obededom southward, and to his sons, the house of Asuppim." (Haydock) --- This term may denote the "revenue;" where the offerings, destined for the support of the priests, were collected, Exodus xxxiv. 22. We find the same word used for the offerings received at the door of the temple, 2 Esdras xii. 15. It may also mean the house "of the assemblies," (Calmet) where the 72 judges of the Sanhedrim met.
