1 Chronicles 9:19 Explained in Context
Use this verse as a doorway into the larger passage—not as an isolated saying.
Verse 19. 19And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, 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.

- 1 Chronicles 9:17–9:27
Links Korahite gatekeeping to tabernacle-era entry custody. Read 1 Chronicles 9:19 within 9:17–9:27. The complete unit records: Shallum and fellow gatekeepers are linked with Korahites, Phinehas, David, Samuel, villages, four directions, treasuries, lodging, and daily opening.
Why It Needs Context
Links Korahite gatekeeping to tabernacle-era entry custody. Its responsible force depends on 9:17–9:27; isolated from “Gatekeepers carry inherited, scheduled responsibility,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
