1 Chronicles 9:14-26

141Of the Levites were Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15and Bakbakkar, Heresh and Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of 2Zichri, the son of Asaph, 16and 3Obadiah the son of 4Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

17Now the gatekeepers were 5Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their relatives (Shallum the chief 18being stationed until now at 6the king’s gate to the east). These were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi. 19Shallum the son of Kore, the son of 7Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent; and their fathers had been over the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance. 208Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them previously, and the Lord was with him. 219Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, 10whom David and Samuel the seer appointed 11in their office of trust. 23So they and their sons 12had charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, even the house of the tent, as guards. 24The gatekeepers were 13on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south. 25Their relatives in their villages 14were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with 15them; 26for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.
