 17And the doorkeepers: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren; Shallum was the chief.
 18And they have been hitherto in the king's gate eastward: they were the doorkeepers in the camps of the children of Levi.
 19And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, and their fathers, set over the camp of Jehovah, were keepers of the entrance.

 21Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was doorkeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
 22All these chosen to be doorkeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were registered by genealogy according to their villages: David and Samuel the seer had instituted them in their trust.
 23And they and their sons were at the gates of the house of Jehovah, the house of the tent, to keep watch there.
 24At the four quarters were the doorkeepers, toward the east, west, north, and south.
 25And their brethren, in their villages, were to come after every seven days from time to time with them.
 26For in their trust these four were the chief doorkeepers: they were Levites; and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God;
 27for they stayed round about the house of God during the night, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
 28And part of them had the charge of the instruments of service, for by number they brought them in and by number they brought them out.
 29Part of them also were appointed over the vessels, and over all the holy instruments, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
 30And it was some one of the sons of the priests who compounded the ointment of the spices.

 33And these were the singers, chief fathers of the Levites, who were in the chambers free from service; for they were employed day and night.
 34These are the chief fathers of the Levites, heads according to their families; these dwelt in Jerusalem.
 35And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, and his wife's name was Maachah.
 36And his son, the firstborn, was Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
 37and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth;
 38and Mikloth begot Shimeam. And they also dwelt beside their brethren in Jerusalem, with their brethren.
