1 Chronicles 9

17 Ref The porters: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers (Shallum was the chief),

18 Ref who hitherto [waited] in the king's gate eastward: they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi.

19 Ref Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent: and their fathers had been over the camp of Yahweh, keepers of the entry.

20 Ref Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, [and] Yahweh was with him.

21 Ref Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of meeting.

22 Ref All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their office of trust.

23 Ref So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards.

24 Ref On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 Ref Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:

26 Ref for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

27 Ref They lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [of it] was on them; and to them pertained the opening of it morning by morning.
