 17And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
 18Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies 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 gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry.

 23So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
 24In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
 25And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
 26For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
