Assigned them to dwell in:

1 Chronicles 9:25 In-Context

23 And they and their sons were at the gates of the house of Jehovah, the house of the tent, to keep watch there.

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.
