“The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.”
1 Chronicles 9:24 (BSB)
Context Reading
22The number of those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds was 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their positions of trust. 23So they and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the house of the LORD — the house called the Tent. 24The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides: east, west, north, and south. 25Their relatives came from their villages at fixed times to serve with them for seven-day periods. 26But the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of the house of God.
