What does 1 Chronicles 9:13 mean?

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 13 And their brethren - What a prodigious number of ecclesiastics to perform the Divine service of one temple! no less than one thousand seven hundred and eighty able-bodied men! and this number is reckoned independently of the two hundred and twelve porters who served at the gates of the house of the Lord, 1Chr 9:22.
