Context of 1 Chronicles 9:21

19Shallum was the son of Kore and grandson of Ebiasaph, who belonged to Korah's clan. Shallum and his relatives from Korah's clan were guards at the entrance of the Lord's Holy Place. Their ancestors had also been guards at the entrance of the Lord's special tent. 20Eleazar's son Phinehas had been the leader of the guards at one time. The Lord was with Phinehas to help him. Meshelemiah's son Zechariah was also a guard at the entrance of the tent where the Lord met with his people. 22There were 212 guards for the gates of the temple. Their names were written in the lists of their ancestors, for each village where they lived. King David and the prophet Samuel had chosen their ancestors to do this important work as guards. 23Those men and their descendants had to stand as guards at the gates of the Lord's Holy Place, which had been a special tent.
