Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
The enumeration of Hosah's sons and brethren as thirteen gatekeepers belongs to the record of David's ordering of worship. That ordering of worship was joined to his work of preparing for the temple. The tally of porters therefore stands within the measures by which service was established in readiness for the house of God.
