Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Shallum the son of Kore - A different person from the Shallum of Ch1 9:17, and with a different office, namely, the guarding the inner doors of the temple. The original Shallum, Shelemaiah, or Meshelemaiah, was a Levite of the time of David Ch1 26:14. His descendants were still called by his name, but had now a more important charge assigned to them.

Host - When the Israelites were in the wilderness, encamped in a military manner round about the tabernacle, with whom these were then placed. Entry - Of the veil by which they entered into the tabernacle; which he calls the entry because then there were no gates. The meaning is, that all things were now restored to their primitive order; and the several persons took those offices upon them, which their ancestors had before them.
