26:1-19
We now come to the gatekeepers. The point is that everyone is known to the Lord, even those with apparently less important roles, the same applies today in the church. Obed-Edom is the one who received the ark after David’s first abortive attempt to bring it back (1 Chron 13:13). The various groups were assigned by lot to different gates.
26:20-31
The Levites were in charge of the treasuries. Handling money is very important, and still is today. If the church is to be undermined it will usually be through either financial or sexual misdemeanour. Those in charge of the money should both be wise and capable and of good character. Various kings had used temple treasure to try and buy off Israel’s enemies, this practice came to a halt. Everything was to be done with godly order.
