Context of 1 Chronicles 26:21

19That was the work of the different groups of guards who were descendants of Korah and Merari. 20Other Levites kept the valuable things in the temple safe. That included the money and the gifts that people had offered to God. One group of these men were descendants of Ladan, who belonged to Gershon's clan. These were the leaders of those families: Jehieli, 22and his sons, Zetham and Joel (his younger brother). They had authority for the rooms where they kept the money and other valuable things in the Lord's temple. 23The other guards for those rooms were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
