New Living Translation
1 Chronicles 26:12-19
12These divisions of the gatekeepers were named for their family leaders, and like the other Levites, they served at the house of the Lord.
13They were assigned by families for guard duty at the various gates, without regard to age or training, for it was all decided by means of sacred lots.
14The responsibility for the east gate went to Meshelemiah and his group. The north gate was assigned to his son Zechariah, a man of unusual wisdom.
15The south gate went to Obed-edom, and his sons were put in charge of the storehouse.
16Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate and the gateway leading up to the Temple. Guard duties were divided evenly.
17Six Levites were assigned each day to the east gate, four to the north gate, four to the south gate, and two pairs at the storehouse.
18Six were assigned each day to the west gate, four to the gateway leading up to the Temple, and two to the courtyard.
19These were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the clans of Korah and Merari.
