1 Chronicles 26:12-19

12These divisions of gatekeepers through their head men were assigned duties with their relatives to serve in the Lord’s temple.

13They drew lots by families, youngest and oldest alike, for every gate.

14Shelemiah was chosen for the east side. His son Zechariah, a counselor who displayed insight, was chosen for the north side.

15Obed Edom was chosen for the south side, and his sons were chosen for the storerooms.

16Shuppim and Hosah were chosen for the west side with Shallecheth Gate at the gateway that goes to the palace. One squad of guards served its watch after another.

17On the east side there were six Levites. On the north there were four every day. On the south there were four every day. At the storerooms there were four, two at each entrance.

18At the courtyard on the west there were four Levites at the gateway to the palace and two at the courtyard itself.

19These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among Korah’s and Merari’s descendants.
