19
Shallum the son of Ko're, son of Ebi'asaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers' house, the Ko'rahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entrance.
20
And Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar was the ruler over them in time past; the LORD was with him.
21
Zechari'ah the son of Meshelemi'ah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
22
All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were two hundred and twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. David and Samuel the seer established them in their office of trust.
23
So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, that is, the house of the tent, as guards.
24
The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south;
25
and their kinsmen who were in their villages were obliged to come in every seven days, from time to time, to be with these;
26
for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in charge of the chambers and the treasures of the house of God.
27
And they lodged round about the house of God; for upon them lay the duty of watching, and they had charge of opening it every morning.
28
Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out.
29
Others of them were appointed over the furniture, and over all the holy utensils, also over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices.
