Context of 1 Chronicles 26:15

13They cast lots, both young and old, according to their families, to determine which gate they would be responsible for. 14The lot for the east gate went to Shelemiah. They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise adviser, and the lot for the north gate went to him. Obed-Edom was assigned the south gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses. 16Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate, along with the Shalleketh gate on the upper road. One guard was adjacent to another. 17Each day there were six Levites posted on the east, four on the north, and four on the south. At the storehouses they were posted in pairs.
