1 Chronicles 26:19-29

19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among Korah's and Merari's descendants.
20 Ahijah, a Levite, was in charge of the treasuries in God's temple and the treasuries of the gifts dedicated to God.
21 [There were also] the descendants of Ladan, who was descended from Gershon. [Those who served] for Ladan, the descendant of Gershon, were the heads of Ladan's families: Jehiel
22 [and] Jehiel's sons Zetham and Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries in the LORD's temple.
23 For the descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,
24 there was Shebuel, a descendant of Moses' son Gershom. He was the highest-ranking official in charge of the treasuries.
25 From his relatives on Eliezer's side of the family was Shelomith. (Eliezer's son was Rehabiah; his grandson was Jeshaiah; his great-grandson was Joram. Joram's son was Zichri; his grandson was Shelomith.)
26 He and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries of the gifts dedicated to God that King David, the heads of families, the commanders of regiments and battalions, and the commanders of the army had donated.
27 (They had donated some of the loot taken in battle to support the LORD's temple.)
28 Everything that Samuel the seer, Saul (son of Kish), Abner (son of Ner), and Joab (son of Zeruiah) had donated--everything that had been donated--was under the supervision of Shelomith and his relatives.
29 From Izhar's descendants Chenaniah and his sons were assigned duties. They served as officials and judges outside [the temple] in Israel.
