Context of 1 Chronicles 9:26
24At the four quarters were the doorkeepers, toward the east, west, north, and south. 25And their brethren, in their villages, were to come after [every] seven days from time to time with them. For in their trust these four were the chief doorkeepers: they were Levites; and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God; 27for they stayed round about the house of God during the night, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning [pertained] to them. 28And [part] of them had the charge of the instruments of service, for by number they brought them in and by number they brought them out.
