These were reckoned by their genealogie in their villages: whom Dauid and Samuel the Seer, did ordeine in their set office. 23So they and their children had the ouersight of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the Tabernacle, by wards.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 9:21
9:21 Was - In the time of David, as the following verse sheweth.Porter - Chief porter. The door - Of the door which led out of thepriests court into the tabernacle, in which the ark was placed. Before thetemple was built, they had a mean and moveable tent, which they made use ofin the mean time. They that cannot yet have a temple, let them be thankfulfor a tabernacle, and make the best use of it. Never let God's work be leftundone, for want of a place to do it in.
