Context of 1 Chronicles 9:28

26For 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. And [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. 29[Part] of them also were appointed over the vessels, and over all the holy instruments, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices. 30And it was [some one] of the sons of the priests who compounded the ointment of the spices.
