To wit, in Davids time.

The house of the tabernacle: this is added to explain what he means by the house of the Lord; not that tabernacle which David had set up for the ark, but that more solemn tabernacle, which Moses had made by Gods express command and most particular direction; which in Davids time was at Gibeon; in which God was and would be worshipped until the temple was built. See 1Ki 3:2; 2Ch 1:3,5, &c.

By wards, i.e. by turns or courses, each of them at his gate, and in his appointed time.

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the Lord,…. They that were appointed in David’s time to watch the gates of the temple, their posterity succeeded them in that office; for it was hereditary:

namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards; that which was at Gibeon in David’s time, and now one was erected until the temple was built.
