1 Chronicles 9:22-33 ▼

22 All these were chosen men to kepe the thressholdes, euen two hundred and twelue: and throughout all the genealogie wer they numbred in their villages: And them did Dauid and Samuel the sear institute, because of their fidelitie.

23 So they and their children had the ouersight of the gates of the house of the Lorde, euen of the tabernacle, to kepe them.

24 In foure quarters did they kepe the watch: toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brethren remayned in the countrey, and came after seuen dayes from tyme to tyme with them.

26 For the Leuites which had the ouersight of the vestries and treasures of the house of God, were vnder the custody of foure notable porters.

27 And they laye rounde about the house of God, because the keping thereof pertayned to them, and they had the charge to open it euery mornyng.

28 And certaine of them had the rule of the ministring vessels, & brought them in and out by tale.

29 Some of them were appoynted to ouersee the vessels, and al the ornaments of the sanctuarie, and the flowre, wine, oyle, frankencense, and sweete odours.

30 And certaine of the sonnes of the priestes made oyntmentes of the sweete odours.

31 And Mathathia one of the Leuites, (which was the eldest sonne of Sallum the Corathite) had the ouersight of the thinges that were made in the frying panne.

32 And other of their brethren the sonnes of Cahath had the ouersight of the shew bread, which they prepared euery Sabbath.

33 These are the singers, euen auncient fathers of the Leuites, which dwelt in seperate chambers and were free: for they had to doe in the temple both day and nyght.
