1 Chronicles 9:26-33

26There were four faithful Levite guards who led the work. They kept safe the rooms in God's house where they stored valuable things and money.

27They stayed at their places around God's house during each night. It was their work to keep it safe. Each morning they would use their key to open the gates.

28Some of the guards kept safe the valuable things that the priests used when they served the Lord. The guards counted those things when the priests brought them in. They counted them again when the priests took them out.

29Some other guards kept safe the tools and the valuable things that were in the Holy Place. Some guards took care of the flour, wine, olive oil, incense and spices.

30But it was the work of some of the priests to mix the spices.

31Mattithiah was a Levite who belonged to Korah's clan. His work was to prepare the bread that they used as offerings.

32Other Levites who belonged to Kohath's clan prepared the bread for the special table. The priests put this bread on the special table in the Holy Place each Sabbath day.

33Some of the Levites were musicians in the temple. The leaders of those clans lived in rooms at the temple. They needed to do their work as musicians during the night, as well as during the day. So they did not have other jobs to do in the temple.
