1 Chronicles 26:15
To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
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, 2 Chronicles 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.
