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.

Verse 15. The house of Asuppim.] The house of the collections; the place where either the supplies of the porters, or the offerings made for the use of the priests and Levites, were laid up.

Asuppim; a place so called; or, of gatherings; so named either from the assembly of the elders, who met there to consult about the affairs of the temple; or from the people, who were there gathered together to hear the discourses and debates of the teachers of the law; or because the gifts of the people towards the house and worship of God were kept there. See 2Ki 22:4; 2Ch 25:24.

To Obededom southward,…. Where were two gates in later times, called the gates of Huldah x:

and to his sons, the house of Asuppim; the word has the signification of gathering, hence some take it to be a council house, where the sanhedrim or elders gathered together, and sat; and others, rather a treasure house, where things of value were collected and laid up, since Obededom had the charge of gold and silver, and the vessels of the house, 2Ch 25:24, but Dr. Lightfoot y is of opinion, that

“Asuppim were two gates in the western wall, which stood most south, or nearest to Jerusalem; “and the house of Asuppim” was a large piece of building that ran between them, which was a treasury, or various rooms for treasuring or laying up something for the use of the temple;”

though L’Empereur thinks z it was the chamber Korban, which is not so probable.

(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 Bth-h-asuppm is the storehouse or magazine. Nothing more is known about it. (The Vulgate takes asuppm to mean Council of Elders; confusing the word with asuppth, Ecc. 12:11.)
