Context of 1 Chronicles 9:30

28Some of them were in charge of the utensils for worship. They would count them when they brought them in and when they took them out. 29Other descendants of Korah were placed in charge of the utensils, the holy utensils, the flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices. Some of the priests’ sons prepared the mixture of spices. 31Mattithiah, a Levite, the firstborn son of Shallum, Korah’s descendant, was entrusted with preparing the flat bread. 32Some of their Kohathite relatives were responsible for setting the bread out in rows every day of rest—a holy day.
