1 Chronicles 26:12-19

Thomson(i) 12 Among these the gates were distributed, the heads of families having daily courses like their brethren, to do service in the house of the Lord. 13 And they cast lots, the junior as well as the senior, according to the houses of their families for their respective gates. 14 And the lot for the eastern gate fell to Selemia and Zacharias. The sons of Joaz having cast lots, the north gate fell to Melchia; 15 and to Abdedom the south gate over against the house of Esephim; 16 to Osa that to the west, behind the gate of the chamber of ascent, guard being over against guard. 17 Eastward there were six a day, northward four a day, southward four a day, and two for Esephim to relieve each other; 18 and for Osa westward behind the gate of the chamber, three, a watch over against the watch of the ascent. On the east six a day, and on the north four, and on the south four, and at Esephim two to relieve each other, 19 and at the west four, and for the causeway two to relieve each other. These distributions of the guards of the gates were among the Korites and the Merarites.
