1 Chronicles 9:17-27 ▼

17 And the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers. Shallum was the chief;

18 and until then at the Gate of the King on the east they had been the gatekeepers for the camps of the sons of Levi.

19 And Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brothers from the house of his father, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tabernacle—and their fathers were over the camp of YHWH, keepers of the entrance.

20 And Phinehas son of Eleazar had been the officer over them formerly; YHWH was with him.

21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was keeper of the door of the Tent of Meeting.

22 All those chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. They in their villages were reckoned—David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their trusted office.

23 And they and their children were over the gates of the house of YHWH, even of the house of the tabernacle, by watches.

24 On the four sides were the gatekeepers: The east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brothers in their villages were to come in for seven days from time to time with these.

26 For in office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites, and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God.

27 And around the house of God they lodged, because on them was the watch. And they were over the opening morning by morning.
