1 Chronicles 9:25

And their brethren, which were in their villages
Assigned them to dwell in:

were to come after seven days from time to time with them;

1 Chronicles 9:25 In-Context

23 So they and their sons were assigned to the gates of the Lord's house, the house of the tent.

24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.

25 Their relatives came from their villages at fixed times to be with them seven days,

26 but the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of God's temple.

27 They spent the night in the vicinity of God's temple, because they had guard duty and were in charge of opening it every morning.
