They were alsoto keep the guard, to keep out all unclean or forbidden persons, to preventor suppress any tumults or disorders which might happen in the temple orin its courts, to keep the treasures of the temple, ver. 20 ,22,24,26,to be officers and judges over Israel, ver. 29 , and to manageevery matter pertaining to God, and the affairs of the king,ver. 32 .
