Context of 1 Chronicles 9:31

29Others were put in charge of the furnishings and all the utensils of the sanctuary, as well as the fine flour, wine, oil, incense, and spices. 30Some of the priests’ sons mixed the spices. A Levite called Mattithiah, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread. 32Some of the Kohathites’ relatives were responsible for preparing the rows of the Bread of the Presence every Sabbath. 33The singers, the heads of the Levite families, stayed in the temple chambers and were exempt from other tasks because they were on duty day and night.
