Context of 1 Chronicles 9:31

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. Mattithiah 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.
