1 Chronicles 9:19-34

19And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entry;

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

21Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of meeting.

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

23So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

24On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25And their brethren, and their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:

26for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in a set office, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

27And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge thereof was upon them, and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning.

28And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by tale were they brought in and by tale were they taken out.

29Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices:

30And some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices.

31And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were baked in pans.

32And some of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

33And these are the singers, heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, who dwelt in the chambers and were free from other service: for they were employed in their work day and night.

34These were heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, throughout their generations, chief men: these dwelt at Jerusalem.
