1 Chronicles 9:26 In-Context

24 Towards the four winds were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and Negev.

25 And their brethren, who were in their villages, came every seven days in their set times with them.

26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office and were over the chambers and treasures of the house of God.

27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.

28 And certain of them had the charge of the vessels of ministry, that they should account for them when they were brought in and out.
