1 Chronicles 26:12-16

12Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of Yhwh.

13And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.1 14And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.2 15To Obed–edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.3 16To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
