Jehias is called Jehiel, ver. 18., and 21. He, Obededom, Barachias, and Elcana, (ver. 23.) were probably the four chief porters who attended the ark in arms; and others were, afterwards, stationed at the temple, chap. ix. 17. The two former took part also in the music, ver. 21. (Calmet) --- Perhaps two preceded and two went behind the ark, to keep off the crowd. (Menochius)

This festal trumpet was different from the “cornet” (1Ch_15:28), properly a ram’s horn, which was freely used for secular purposes. See Driver, Amos, p. 144 ff. (with illustrations).

of the Ark,
And Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for the ark.—Comp. 1Ch_15:23. It is hardly likely that these persons were identical with the minstrels Obed-edom and Jeiel of 1Ch_15:18; 1Ch_15:21, for (1) 1Ch_15:19-24 appear to describe the order of the procession, according to which two “doorkeepers” walked before and two behind the ark (1Ch_15:23-24), whereas Obed-edom and Jeiel the minstrels walked, playing their lutes, two places before even the first pair of doorkeepers (1Ch_15:21); (2) the name “Jeiel” is different in form and meaning from “Jehiah,” Jah liveth; (3) the recurrence of names has been too frequent to allow us to be much surprised at a second Obed-edom. (Comp. 1Ch_16:38.)

Between these couples probably went the seven priests blowing the trumpets. (Num_10:1-9) These trumpets were of solid silver, of one piece, were straight and narrow, and had an expanded mouth. They are found on the arch of Titus, and are described by Josephus. On the other hand, the trumpet, more correctly rendered "cornet" (rpwOv, as distinguished from our hrwOxj), which was used for proclaiming the jubilee, for announcing the new year for sentinel and other special signals, and for war, was shaped like a ram"s horn, and probably made of the same. The particular appropriateness of the use of the former on this occasion is manifest, in addition to the fact that they were the appointed trumpets for the journeying of the camp and a fortiori of the ark itself at a time so essentially religious as the present. Yet, as we learn from ver. 28, the latter were used as well, and cymbals, psalteries, and harps. The original number of the silver trumpets was two only, and they were to be sounded strictly by the anointed priests, sons of Aaron, at all events when their employment was within the sanctuary. Their employment, however, grew far more general, and we find (2Ch_5:12) that their number had risen to a hundred and twenty (so too 2Ch_13:12; Neh_12:35) For Obed-edom, the doorkeeper, see 1Ch_16:38; and therewith note on 1Ch_13:14.
