Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 26:15

"To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the store-house." — 1 Chronicles 26:15 (ASV)

To Obed-edom (the lot fell) southward; and to his sons (fell by lot) the house of Asuppim. —“Asuppim” occurs only in 1 Chronicles 26:15; 1 Chronicles 26:17 of this chapter, and in Nehemiah 12:25. It seems to mean collections, stores of provisions and material for the use of the Temple and its ministers; so that Bêth-hâ-asuppîm is the storehouse or magazine. Nothing more is known about it. (The Vulgate takes ’asuppîm to mean “Council of Elders; ” confusing the word with ’asuppôth,Ecclesiastes 12:11.)
