1 Chronicles 9:27 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 27They stayed around God’s house, because that was their duty; and it was their duty to open it morning by morning. 28Certain of them were in charge of the vessels of service, for these were brought in by count, and these were taken out by count. 29Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.
