1 Chronicles 9:17-22

17And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;

18Who hitherto waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.

19And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the camp of Yhwh, were keepers of the entry.1

20And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and Yhwh was with him.

21And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.23
