1 Chronicles 9:17-27 ▼

17 And the gatekeepers [are] Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers—Shallum [is] the head;

18 and until now they [are] at the gate of the king eastward; they [are] the gatekeepers for the companies of the sons of Levi.

19 And Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brothers, of the house of his father, the Korahites, [are] over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, and their fathers [are] over the camp of YHWH, keepers of the entrance;

20 and Phinehas son of Eleazar has been leader over them formerly; YHWH [is] with him.

21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah [is] gatekeeper at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.

22 All of those who are chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds [are] two hundred and twelve; they [are] in their villages, by their genealogy; they whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office.

23 And they and their sons [are] over the gates of the house of YHWH, even of the house of the tent, by watches.

24 The gatekeepers are at [the] four sides: east, west, north, and south.

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

26 For the four chiefs of the gatekeepers in office, they are Levites, and they have been over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God,

27 and they lodge around the house of God, for the watch [is] on them, and they [are] over the opening, even morning by morning.
