Amplified Bible
1 Chronicles 26:12-19
12To these divisions of the gatekeepers, the chief men, were given duties, like their relatives, to minister in the house of the Lord.
13They cast lots, the small (younger) and great (older) alike, in accordance with their fathers’ households, for every gate.
14The lot for the east [gates] fell to Shelemiah. They cast lots also for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the north [gates].
15To Obed-edom [it came out] for the south [gates], and the storehouse was allotted to his sons.
16To Shuppim and Hosah [the lot fell] for the west [gates], by the gate of Shallecheth, on the ascending highway, division by division.
17On the east were six Levites, on the north four a day, on the south four a day, and two by two at the storehouse.
18At the colonnade on the west side [of the outer court of the temple] there were four at the road and two at the colonnade.
19These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the Korahites and the sons of Merari.
