Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 9:19

19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren (of the house of his father) the Korhites were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle : and their fathers being over the host of the LORD , were keepers of the entry ▪

Or, who were, to wit, in time past, which is expressed in a like case, v. 20. when the Tabernacle was standing, before the Temple was built.

The Kohathites, of whom see on Numb. 4. [illegible: 1+ letters].

Or, with (as this Hebrew Particle is oft used) the host, &c. i. e. when the Israelites were in the Wilderness encamped in a Military manner round about the Tabernacle, with, or among whom these were then placed.

i. e. Of the Vail by which they entred into the Tabernacle; which he calls the entry distinctively, because then there were no Gates. The meaning is, That all things were now restored to their Primitive Order and Institution; and the several Persons took those Places and Offices upon them, which their Ancestors had before them.
