1 Chronicles 9:17-32

17And the porters: ShallumH7967, and AkkubH6126, and TalmonH2929, and AhimanH289, and their brethren (ShallumH7967 was the chiefH7218), 18who hitherto waited in the king’sH4428 gateH8179 eastward: they were the porters for the campH4264 of the children of LeviH3878. 19And ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of KoreH6981, the sonH1121 of EbiasaphH43, the sonH1121 of KorahH7141, and his brethren, of his father’sH1 houseH1004, the KorahitesH7145, were over the workH4399 of the serviceH5656, keepersH8104 of the thresholdsH5592 of the tentH168: and their fathersH1 had been over the campH4264 of Jehovah, keepersH8104 of the entry. 20And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 wasH1961 rulerH5057 over them in time past, and Jehovah wasH1961 with him. 21ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of MeshelemiahH4920 was porter of the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 22All these that were chosen to be porters in the thresholdsH5592 were twoH8147 hundredH3967 and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogyH3187 in their villages, whom DavidH1732 and SamuelH8050 the seer did ordain in their office of trust. 23So they and their children had the oversight of the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, even the houseH1004 of the tentH168, by wards. 24On the fourH702 sidesH7307 wereH1961 the porters, toward the eastH4217, westH3220, northH6828, and southH5045. 25And their brethren, in their villages, were to comeH935 in every sevenH7651 daysH3117 from timeH6256 to timeH6256 to be with them: 26for the fourH702 chief porters, who wereH1961 LevitesH3881, wereH1961 in an office of trust, and wereH1961 over the chambers and over the treasuriesH214 in the houseH1004 of GodH430. 27And they lodged roundH5439 about the houseH1004 of GodH430, because the chargeH4931 thereof was upon them; and to them pertained the opening thereof morningH1242 by morningH1242.

28And certain of them had charge of the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656; for by count were these broughtH935 in and by count were these taken out. 29Some of them also were appointedH4487 over the furniture, and over all the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944, and over the fineH5560 flourH5560, and the wineH3196, and the oilH8081, and the frankincenseH3828, and the spicesH1314. 30And some of the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 prepared the confection of the spicesH1314. 31And MattithiahH4993, oneH4480 of the LevitesH3881, who was the first-born of ShallumH7967 the KorahiteH7145, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans. 32And some of their brethren, of the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, were over the showbread, to prepareH3559 it every sabbathH7676.
