Context of 1 Chronicles 9:25
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. Their 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. 27They spent the night around the house of God, for the [night] watch was theirs, and they were in charge of opening the house morning after morning.
