30 Others, of the sons of the priests, prepared the mixing of the spices,
31 and Mattithi'ah, one of the Levites, the first-born of Shallum the Ko'rahite, was in charge of making the flat cakes.
32 Also some of their kinsmen of the Ko'hathites had charge of the showbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
33 Now these are the singers, the heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, dwelling in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night.
34 These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, according to their generations, leaders, who lived in Jerusalem.
35 In Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Je-i'el, and the name of his wife was Ma'acah,
