# Connecting Statement:
This continues the list of men whom the Levites appointed to sing and play music as the people brought the ark to Jerusalem. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
# With them were their kinsmen of second rank
This likely means that these men served in lower positions and were assistants to Heman, Asaph, and Ethan. Alternate translation: "With them were their kinsmen who were in a lower position of power" or "The following relatives would help them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-ordinal]])
# Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers
The word "gatekeepers" refers to people who guard gates or entryways. Here it refers to guarding access to the ark of the covenant and applies to Obed-Edom and Jeiel. Alternate translation: "Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers, Obed-Edom and Jeiel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
