The four chief porters who were over all the two hundred and twelve, and had one over them, ( 1 Chronicles 9:17 ) , these were never changed, nor went into the country villages; but were always upon the spot, and in their office, superintending the rest:

and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God;

1 Chronicles 9:26 In-Context

24 At the four quarters were the doorkeepers, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brethren, in their villages, were to come after [every] seven days from time to time with them.

26 For in their trust these four were the chief doorkeepers: they were Levites; and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God;

27 for they stayed round about the house of God during the night, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning [pertained] to them.

28 And [part] of them had the charge of the instruments of service, for by number they brought them in and by number they brought them out.
