19 Kore’s son Shallum, who was the grandson of Ebiasaph and the great-grandson of Korah, and the descendants of Korah (who were relatives of his ancestral house) were over the service responsibilities and served as guardians of the entrances of the Tent, just as their ancestors had been in charge of the camp of the LORD and guardians of the entrance.
20 Eleazar’s son Phinehas used to be Commander-in-Chief over them—the LORD was with him.
21 Meshelemiah’s son Zechariah was gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
22 All these, who had been set apart as gatekeepers at the entrances, numbered 212 and had been enrolled by genealogies in their villages.
David and Samuel the seer installed them in their positions of trust, 23 so they and their descendants were in charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, that is, the House of the Tent, as guardians. 24 The guardians were stationed on four sides—east, west, north, and south. 25 Their relatives who lived in their villages were required to visit every seven days to be with them in turn, 26 because the four senior gatekeepers (who were descendants of Levi) had been placed in charge of the chambers and the treasury of the Temple of God. 27 They spent the night near the Temple of God, since they had been entrusted to guard it. They were in charge of opening it every morning.
28 Some were responsible for the service utensils, and they were required to take an inventory of them when they were brought in and out. 29 Others were responsible for the furniture and for all of the holy utensils, including the flour, wine, oil, incense, and spices. 30 Other descendants of the priests prepared the mixed spices. 31 Mattithiah, a descendant of Levi and firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was in charge of making the offering cakes. 32 Some of their Kohathite relatives were responsible to prepare the rows of bread for each Sabbath.
