13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike. 14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah (Meshelemiah). Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah (YHWH remembers), a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-edom (servant of Edom), and the lot for the storehouses to his sons. 16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shallecheth (overthrow) Gate on the ascending highway (on the upper road) fell to Shuppim (serpents) and Hosah (refuge). There were guards stationed at every watch. 17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse. 18 As for the court {parbar} on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court (open apartment). 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah (one of Korah) and Merari (bitter). 1 Chronicles 26:13-19, Berean Annotated Bible.
