“These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their relatives did.”
1 Chronicles 26:12 (BSB)
Context Reading
10Hosah the Merarite also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first), 11Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah numbered 13 in all. 12These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their relatives did. 13They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike. 14The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.
