19. Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers from his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been over the camp of the Lord, guards at the entrance.
20. Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the official over them in previous times, and the Lord was with him.
21. Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
22. All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. They were registered by their genealogy in their villages. Now David and Samuel the seer established them in their trusted offices.
23. So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the house of the tabernacle, as guards.
24. The gatekeepers were on four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25. Their brothers in their villages were to come for seven days from time to time to serve with them.
26. For in their trusted offices the four main gatekeepers who were Levites had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
