22All these that were chosen to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their office of trust.
23So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Jehovah, even the house of the tent, by wards.
24On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
25And their brethren, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:
26for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.
27And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [thereof] was upon them; and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning.
28And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out.
