What Does 1 Chronicles 15:23 Mean?
Two men, Berechiah and Elkanah, are set as doorkeepers for the ark, charged to guard the way and the holy thing entrusted to them. Even the keeping of the threshold has its appointed servants.
To guard what is holy is an honored task. The psalmist would later say he would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God than dwell in tents of wickedness. Faithful watchfulness over sacred things is itself a form of worship, dear to the Lord who appoints it.
