1 Chronicles 9:14-26

14Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

15and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;

16and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites [near Jerusalem].

17The gatekeepers were: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives (Shallum the chief

18who until now was assigned to the king’s gate on the east side) they were the gatekeepers for the camp of the Levites.

19Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives of his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, doorkeepers of the Tent; and their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance.

20Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in times past, and the Lord was with him.

21Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

22All those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. They were enrolled by their genealogies in their villages [around Jerusalem], these men [whose grandfathers] David and Samuel the seer had appointed to their official duty.

23So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the house of the tabernacle, as guards.

24The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides —on the east, west, north, and south.

25Their relatives in their villages were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;

26for these Levites, the four chief gatekeepers, had an official duty, and were in charge of the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
