1 Chronicles 9:25 In-Context

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

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

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

27 And 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.
