One wonders what David's thoughts were as the porters etc: were being appointed given that so many years earlier he and Samuel (9:22) had already done the work.

FAMILIES
Recently there were huge power blackouts throughout the USA and Canada. All the technology people relied on was stopped. No longer could they watch TV, use their computers, surf the Internet, use mobile phones, listen to music, and even travel was restricted. One reporter I heard, spoke about the results of this major power out. He said that families began to communicate. People, families and neighbours began to talk to each other. They rediscovered the art of conversation and community.
Unfortunately this does not happen often in our technological society, and the value of the family has been lost. Today we live more as individuals, self supportive, self sufficient and self obsessed.
It has not always been like that. In fact, God made us to be part of a family and to work together as a family. I suppose it was the contrast between our modern self centred life compared to the family lists in Chronicles, that got me thinking. Each team of gate keepers was made up of a family: Dad, his sons and some of his grandchildren. They all worked together on the same task. Family relationships were very important.
Let's put some more work into our own family relationships, practising communication, co-operation and care. Turn off the TV and turn on the family.

As we read through this chapter we see how prominent physical strength is (V.6,7,8,9). The porters were required not only to act as sentinels of the sacred place and precious furniture against damage and theft, they were in fact a type of a military guard. After the temple was built, it was their responsibility to both open and close the gates which had to be both large and very heavy.

Notes that are not verse specific
The emotion that I suggested was 'disappointment'. The problem I have with this is that one can only be disappointed if one doesn't know the future. It is a very grey area isn't it? How can God be disappointed by what He knew would happen anyway?
I tend to feel that the concept we have of God 'repenting him that he had made man on the earth' (and several other scriptures where God repented) is a way of putting it so that we can understand it, as on face value it carries with it the idea that some happening has taken God by surprise, which is clearly never the case.
I must say I am not altogether happy with this argument either, mind you! This seems to be the one problem that undermines our concept of the omniscience of God.
I suppose if we move it to our human level - as parents we show disapproval for the actions of our children, and very often the things they do are predictable - we can predict from our own experience what the outcome is almost certain to be - but this does not stop us expressing, and genuinely feeling, our disappointment in our offspring, which they need to see in order to grow closer to those things which are good.

The land of Edom is a mountainous and mostly arid country today, but at that time it must have contained areas that were fertile and well watered. (Gen 36:6) Years later, when Israel wanted to pass through the land of Edom on the way to the promised land it was described as possessing "fields, vineyards, and wells." Num 24:17

Edom is to be brought down by God. Because the descendants of Esau had rejoiced at Israel’s downfall, so Edom is to be laid low. In the end they will know that God is the Lord.
David Simpson [Worcester (UK)] Comment added in 2005 Reply to David
ANCIENT HOSTILITY
The Lord had determined to destroy Edom. When Israel were down and out for the count because of the punishment God had brought on them by Nebuchadnezzar and the people of Babylon, the people of Edom had done their worst to rub in the punishment. Edom were the ones that kicked Israel while they were down. They had attacked the weak and the helpless. For this reason God's punishment loomed up on them.
Actions like this don't just happen out of the blue. It takes a certain attitude of mind, and a predisposition to do these sort of wicked things. In the case of Edom it all began with an ancient hostility. They bore a grudge against Israel and would not let go of it. Their ancient hostility festered in their minds, grew out of all proportion and eventually found its way out in action. Ancient hostility was the downfall of Edom, but it can affect us too. Ancient hostility is any hostility that stays with us longer than the days end, at which time we are told not to let the sun go down on our wrath.
Do we hold an ancient hostility toward a church, partner, parent, friend, employer, child, teacher or anyone else? If we are bearing a grudge, nursing bitterness or planning revenge, we need to get rid of that ancient hostility before it grows to become a problem that God needs to step in to eliminate.

1. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came unto me, saying <559>(8800),
2. Son <1121> of man <120>, set <7760>(8798) thy face <6440> against mount <2022> Seir <8165>, and prophesy <5012>(8734) against it,
3. And say <559>(8804) unto it, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Behold, O mount <2022> Seir <8165>, I am against thee, and I will stretch out <5186>(8804) mine hand <3027> against thee, and I will make <5414>(8804) thee most <4923> desolate <8077>.
4. I will lay <7760>(8799) thy cities <5892> waste <2723>, and thou shalt be desolate <8077>, and thou shalt know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
5. Because thou hast had a perpetual <5769> hatred <342>, and hast shed <5064>(8686) the blood of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> by the force <3027> of the sword <2719> in the time <6256> of their calamity <343>, in the time <6256> that their iniquity <5771> had an end <7093>:
6. Therefore, as I live <2416>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, I will prepare <6213>(8799) thee unto blood <1818>, and blood <1818> shall pursue <7291>(8799) thee: sith <518> thou hast not hated <8130>(8804) blood <1818>, even blood <1818> shall pursue <7291>(8799) thee.
7. Thus will I make <5414>(8804) mount <2022> Seir <8165> most <8077> desolate <8077>, and cut off <3772>(8689) from it him that passeth out <5674>(8802) and him that returneth <7725>(8802).
8. And I will fill <4390>(8765) his mountains <2022> with his slain <2491> men: in thy hills <1389>, and in thy valleys <1516>, and in all thy rivers <650>, shall they fall <5307>(8799) that are slain <2491> with the sword <2719>.
9. I will make <5414>(8799) thee perpetual <5769> desolations <8077>, and thy cities <5892> shall not return <7725>(8799)(8675) <3427>(8799): and ye shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
10. Because thou hast said <559>(8800), These two <8147> nations <1471> and these two <8147> countries <776> shall be mine, and we will possess <3423>(8804) it; whereas the LORD <3068> was there:
11. Therefore, as I live <2416>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, I will even do <6213>(8804) according to thine anger <639>, and according to thine envy <7068> which thou hast used <6213>(8804) out of thy hatred <8135> against them; and I will make myself known <3045>(8738) among them, when I have judged <8199>(8799) thee.
12. And thou shalt know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>, and that I have heard <8085>(8804) all thy blasphemies <5007> which thou hast spoken <559>(8804) against the mountains <2022> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), They are laid desolate <8074>(8804)(8675) <8077>, they are given <5414>(8738) us to consume <402>.
13. Thus with your mouth <6310> ye have boasted <1431>(8686) against me, and have multiplied <6280>(8689) your words <1697> against me: I have heard <8085>(8804) them.
14. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; When the whole earth <776> rejoiceth <8055>(8800), I will make <6213>(8799) thee desolate <8077>.
15. As thou didst rejoice <8057> at the inheritance <5159> of the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, because it was desolate <8074>(8804), so will I do <6213>(8799) unto thee: thou shalt be desolate <8077>, O mount <2022> Seir <8165>, and all Idumea <123>, even all of it: and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.

4v2: Why doesn't Paul simply say, "I entreat Euodia and Syntyche to agree in the Lord"? Paul appears to be addressing Euodia ("I entreat Euodia") and then turns and addresses Syntyche ("I entreat Syntyche"). They were separated, each presumably surrounded by their respective sympathisers and defenders. They probably carefully avoided each other on Sundays, every move being subtly choreographed for avoidance. And now, for all subsequent generations, they appear in the Bible for their character failings! What a reputation! Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons [and daughters] of God. Matt 5:9

8. Yea <235> doubtless <3304>, and <2532> I count <2233>(5736) all things <3956> but loss <2209> for <1511>(5750) <1223> the excellency <5242>(5723) of the knowledge <1108> of Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> my <3450> Lord <2962>: for <1223> whom <3739> I have suffered the loss <2210>(5681) of all things <3956>, and <2532> do count <2233>(5736) them <1511>(5750) but dung <4657>, that <2443> I may win <2770>(5661) Christ <5547>,

10. That I may know <1097>(5629) him <846>, and <2532> the power <1411> of his <846> resurrection <386>, and <2532> the fellowship <2842> of his <846> sufferings <3804>, being made conformable <4833>(5746) unto his <846> death <2288>;

15. Let <5426> <0> us therefore <3767>, as many as <3745> be perfect <5046>, be <5426> <0> thus <5124> minded <5426>(5725): and <2532> if in any thing <1536> ye be <5426> <0> otherwise <2088> minded <5426>(5719), God <2316> shall reveal <601>(5692) even <2532> this <5124> unto you <5213>.
16. Nevertheless <4133>, whereto <1519> <3739> we have already attained <5348>(5656), let us walk <4748>(5721) by the same <846> rule <2583>, let us mind <5426>(5721) the same thing <846>.
17. Brethren <80>, be <1096>(5737) followers together <4831> of me <3450>, and <2532> mark <4648>(5720) them which walk <4043>(5723) so <3779> as <2531> ye have <2192>(5719) us <2248> for an ensample <5179>.
18. (For <1063> many <4183> walk <4043>(5719), of whom <3739> I have told <3004>(5707) you <5213> often <4178>, and <1161> now <3568> tell <3004>(5719) you even <2532> weeping <2799>(5723), that they are the enemies <2190> of the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>:
19. Whose <3739> end <5056> is destruction <684>, whose <3739> God <2316> is their belly <2836>, and <2532> whose glory <1391> is in <1722> their <846> shame <152>, who <3588> mind <5426>(5723) earthly things <1919>.)
20. For <1063> our <2257> conversation <4175> is <5225>(5719) in <1722> heaven <3772>; from <1537> whence <3739> also <2532> we look for <553>(5736) the Saviour <4990>, the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
21. Who <3739> shall change <3345>(5692) our <2257> vile <5014> body <4983>, that <1519> it may be <1096>(5635) fashioned like unto <4832> his <846> glorious <1391> body <4983>, according to <2596> the working <1753> whereby he <846> is able <1410>(5738) even <2532> to subdue <5293>(5658) all things <3956> unto himself <1438>.
1. Therefore <5620>, my <3450> brethren <80> dearly beloved <27> and <2532> longed for <1973>, my <3450> joy <5479> and <2532> crown <4735>, so <3779> stand fast <4739>(5720) in <1722> the Lord <2962>, my dearly beloved <27>.
2. I beseech <3870>(5719) Euodias <2136>, and <2532> beseech <3870>(5719) Syntyche <4941>, that they be of <5426> <0> the same <846> mind <5426>(5721) in <1722> the Lord <2962>.
3. And <2532> I intreat <2065>(5719) thee <4571> also <2532>, true <1103> yokefellow <4805>, help <4815>(5732) those women <846> which <3748> laboured <4866>(5656) with me <3427> in <1722> the gospel <2098>, with <3326> Clement <2815> also <2532>, and <2532> with other <3062> my <3450> fellowlabourers <4904>, whose <3739> names <3686> are in <1722> the book <976> of life <2222>.
4. Rejoice <5463>(5720) in <1722> the Lord <2962> alway <3842>: and again <3825> I say <2046>(5692), Rejoice <5463>(5720).
5. Let <1097> <0> your <5216> moderation <1933> be known <1097>(5682) unto all <3956> men <444>. The Lord <2962> is at hand <1451>.
6. Be careful <3309>(5720) for nothing <3367>; but <235> in <1722> every thing <3956> by prayer <4335> and <2532> supplication <1162> with <3326> thanksgiving <2169> let <1107> <0> your <5216> requests <155> be made known <1107>(5744) unto <4314> God <2316>.
7. And <2532> the peace <1515> of God <2316>, which <3588> passeth <5242>(5723) all <3956> understanding <3563>, shall keep <5432>(5692) your <5216> hearts <2588> and <2532> minds <5216> <3540> through <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
8. Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, whatsoever things <3745> are <2076>(5748) true <227>, whatsoever things <3745> are honest <4586>, whatsoever things <3745> are just <1342>, whatsoever things <3745> are pure <53>, whatsoever things <3745> are lovely <4375>, whatsoever things <3745> are of good report <2163>; if there be any <1536> virtue <703>, and <2532> if there be any <1536> praise <1868>, think <3049>(5737) on these things <5023>.
9. Those things <5023>, which <3739> ye have <3129> <0> both <2532> learned <3129>(5627), and <2532> received <3880>(5627), and <2532> heard <191>(5656), and <2532> seen <1492>(5627) in <1722> me <1698>, do <4238>(5719): and <2532> the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall be <2071>(5704) with <3326> you <5216>.
10. But <1161> I rejoiced <5463>(5644) in <1722> the Lord <2962> greatly <3171>, that <3754> now <2235> at the last <4218> your care <5426>(5721) <330> <0> of <5228> me <1700> hath flourished again <330>(5627); wherein <1909> <3739> ye were <5426> <0> also <2532> careful <5426>(5707), but <1161> ye lacked opportunity <170>(5711).
11. Not <3756> that I speak <3004>(5719) in respect <3754> <2596> of want <5304>: for <1063> I <1473> have learned <3129>(5627), in <1722> whatsoever state <3739> I am <1510>(5748), therewith to be <1511>(5750) content <842>.
12. <1161> I know <1492>(5758) both how to be abased <5013>(5745), and <2532> I know <1492>(5758) how to abound <4052>(5721): every where <1722> <3956> and <2532> in <1722> all things <3956> I am instructed <3453>(5769) both <2532> to be full <5526>(5745) and <2532> to be hungry <3983>(5721), both <2532> to abound <4052>(5721) and <2532> to suffer need <5302>(5745).
13. I can do <2480>(5719) all things <3956> through <1722> Christ <5547> which <3588> strengtheneth <1743>(5723) me <3165>.
14. Notwithstanding <4133> ye have well <2573> done <4160>(5656), that ye did communicate with <4790>(5660) my <3450> affliction <2347>.
15. Now <1161> ye <5210> Philippians <5374> know <1492>(5758) also <2532>, that <3754> in <1722> the beginning <746> of the gospel <2098>, when <3753> I departed <1831>(5627) from <575> Macedonia <3109>, no <3762> church <1577> communicated with <2841>(5656) me <3427> as <1519> concerning <3056> giving <1394> and <2532> receiving <3028>, but <1508> ye <5210> only <3441>.
16. For <3754> even <2532> in <1722> Thessalonica <2332> ye sent <3992>(5656) once <2532> <530> and <2532> again <1364> unto <1519> my <3427> necessity <5532>.
17. Not <3756> because <3754> I desire <1934>(5719) a gift <1390>: but <235> I desire <1934>(5719) fruit <2590> that may abound <4121>(5723) to <1519> your <5216> account <3056>.
18. But <1161> I have <568>(5719) all <3956>, and <2532> abound <4052>(5719): I am full <4137>(5769), having received <1209>(5666) of <3844> Epaphroditus <1891> the things which were sent from <3844> you <5216>, an odour <3744> of a sweet smell <2175>, a sacrifice <2378> acceptable <1184>, wellpleasing <2101> to God <2316>.
19. But <1161> my <3450> God <2316> shall supply <4137>(5692) all <3956> your <5216> need <5532> according to <2596> his <848> riches <4149> in <1722> glory <1391> by <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
20. Now <1161> unto God <2316> and <2532> our <2257> Father <3962> be glory <1391> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
21. Salute <782>(5663) every <3956> saint <40> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. The brethren <80> which are with <4862> me <1698> greet <782>(5736) you <5209>.
22. All <3956> the saints <40> salute <782>(5736) you <5209>, <1161> chiefly <3122> they that are of <1537> Caesar's <2541> household <3614>.
23. The grace <5485> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> be with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>. Amen <281>. To <4314> the Philippians <5374> written <1125>(5648) from <575> Rome <4516>, by <1223> Epaphroditus <1891>.
