I Chronicles 26:15 And to Obededom, and his sons, that towards the south: in which part of the house was the council of the ancients.

And. Protestants, "To Obededom southward, and to his sons, the house of Asuppim." (Haydock) --- This term may denote the "revenue;" where the offerings, destined for the support of the priests, were collected, Exodus 34:22. We find the same word used for the offerings received at the door of the temple, 2 Esdras 12:15. It may also mean the house "of the assemblies," (Calmet) where the 72 judges of the Sanhedrim met. (Villalpand) (Tirinus)
