The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king`s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they didn`t need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.

Community and Support in Worship

Commentators explain that the singers and porters were so dedicated to their specific roles that they could not leave their posts during the Passover. In a display of community support, their fellow Levites prepared the Passover meal for them. This illustrates a well-organized, mutually supportive community where every role was vital for worship to proceed without interruption.
