1 Chronicles 9:17-27

17And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief; 18Who until then waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were porters in the camp 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 host of the LORD, were keepers of the entrance.1 20And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him. 21And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22All these who 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 ordained in their charge.23 23So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by watch. 24In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. 25And their brethren, who were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them. 26For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in charge of the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.45 27And they lodged about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening of it every morning pertained to them.
