Divrey Hayamim Alef 9:25 In-Context

23 So they and their banim had the oversight of the she’arim (gates) of the Beis Hashem, namely, the Beis HaOhel, by mishmarot (shifts, watches).

24 In four quarters were the sho’arim, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after shivat hayamim from time to time with them.

26 For these Levi’im, the four gibborei hasho’arim, were in their emunah (set office, entrusted responsibility), and were over the rooms and otzarot (treasuries) of the Bais HaElohim.

27 And they spent the night around the Bais HaElohim, because the mishmeret was upon them; they were responsible for the mafte’ach (key) thereof laboker laboker.
