Context of 1 Chronicles 9:30

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. But 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.
