1 Chronicles 9:26 In-Context

24 On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:

26 for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

27 They lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [of it] was on them; and to them pertained the opening of it morning by morning.

28 Certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out.
