1 Chronicles 26:12  (King James Version)
Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.
 


wards
That is, classes against each other. Ward formerly signified a class or division: we still apply the term to the different apartments in hospitals, and to the more extensive districts into which the city of London is divided.
25:8
