The Levite Gatekeepers

¹⁷And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren. Shallum was the chief. ¹⁸Until then they had been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King’s Gate on the east.

¹⁹Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, ⁴gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance to the camp of the Lord. ²⁰And ^jPhinehas the son of Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. ^21kZechariah the son of Meshelemiah was ⁵keeper of the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

²²All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. ^lThey were recorded by their genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel ^mthe seer had appointed them to their trusted office.
