1 Chronicles 9:22-33 ▼

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.

28 And some of them were in charge of the vessels of service, for by number they brought them in and by number they took them out.

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

30 And some of the sons of the priests were mixing the ointment of the spices.

31 And Mattithiah of the Levites (he was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite) was entrusted over the work of the flat cakes.

32 And some of the sons of the Kohathites from their brothers were over the bread of the arrangement, to prepare it Sabbath by Sabbath.

33 And these singers, the heads of fathers of the Levites in the chambers, were free, for by day and by night they were over them in the work.
