1 Chronicles 9:14-44

14 ^aOf the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph; 16and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

17The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their kinsmen (Shallum was the chief); 18until then they were ^bin the king’s gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites. 19Shallum the son of Kore, son of ^cEbiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers’ house, the ^dKorahites, 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. 20And ^ePhinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 ^fZechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were 212. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. ^gDavid and Samuel ^hthe seer established them in their office of trust. 23So 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. 24The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south. 25And their kinsmen who were ⁱin their villages were obligated to come ^jin every seven days, in turn, to be with these, 26for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted to be over ^kthe chambers and the treasures of the house of God. 27And they lodged around the house of God, for on them lay the duty of watching, and ^lthey had charge of opening it every morning.

28Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out. 29Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the ^mfine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices. 30Others, of the sons of the priests, ⁿprepared the mixing of the spices, 31and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of ^oShallum the ^pKorahite, was entrusted with ^qmaking the flat cakes. 32Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had ^rcharge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.

33Now these, the ^ssingers, the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, were in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night. 34These were heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, according to their generations, leaders. These lived in Jerusalem.
