1 Chronicles 9:17-34 ▼

17 The door-keepers; Salom, Acum, Telmon, and Diman, and their brethren; Salom was the chief;

18 and he waited hitherto in the king's gate eastward: these are the gates of the companies of the sons of Levi.

19 And Sellum the son of Core, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core, and his brethren belonging to the house of his father, the Corites were over the works of the service, keeping the watches of the tabernacle, and their fathers over the camp of the Lord, keeping the entrance.

20 And Phinees son of Eleazar was head over them before the Lord, and these were with him.

21 Zacharias the son of Mosollami was keeper of the door of the tabernacle of witness.

22 All the chosen porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve, these were in their courts, this was their distribution: these David and Samuel the seer established in their charge.

23 And these and their sons were over the gates in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the tabernacle, to keep watch.

24 The gates were toward the four winds, eastward, westward, northward, southward.

25 And their brethren were in their courts, to enter in weekly from time to time with these.

26 For four strong men have the charge of the gates; and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God.

27 For the charge was upon them, and these were charged with the keys to open the doors of the temple every morning.

28 And some of them were appointed over the vessels of service, that they should carry them in by number, and carry them out by number.

29 And some of them were appointed over the furniture, and over all the holy vessels, and over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.

30 And some of the priests were makers of the ointment, and appointed to prepare the spices.

31 And Matthathias of the Levites, (he was the first-born of Salom the Corite,) was set in charge over the sacrifices of meat-offering of the pan belonging to the high priest.

32 And Banaias the Caathite, from among their brethren, was set over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

33 And these were the singers, heads of families of the Levites, to whom were established daily courses, for they were employed in the services day and night.

34 These were the heads of the families of the Levites according to their generations; these chiefs dwelt in Jerusalem.
