1 Chronicles 9:24 (WEB)
Context Reading
22All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers in the thresholds were two hundred twelve. These were listed by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their office of trust. 23So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of Yahweh’s house, even the house of the tent, as guards. 24On the four sides were the gatekeepers, toward the east, west, north, and south. 25Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them, 26for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the rooms and over the treasuries in God’s house.
