13:009:020 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the
ruler over them in
time
past, and the lord was with him.
13:009:021 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was
porter of the door of
the
tabernacle of the congregation.
13:009:022 All these which were chosen to be porters
in the gates were
two
hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their
genealogy
in
their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did
ordain
in
their set office.
13:009:023 So they and their children had the oversight
of the gates of
the
house of the lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle,
by
wards.
13:009:024 In four quarters were the porters, toward
the east, west,
north,
and south.
13:009:025 And their brethren, which were in their
villages, were to come
after
seven days from time to time with them.
13:009:026 For these Levites, the four chief porters,
were in their set
office,
and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house
of
God.
13:009:027 And they lodged round about the house of
God, because the
charge
was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning
pertained
to them.
13:009:028 And certain of them had the charge of the
ministering vessels,
that
they should bring them in and out by tale.
13:009:029 Some of them also were appointed to oversee
the vessels, and
all
the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour,
and
the
wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
13:009:030 And some of the sons of the priests made
the ointment of the
spices.
13:009:031 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who
was the firstborn of
Shallum
the Korahite, had the set office over the things that
were
made in the pans.
13:009:032 And other of their brethren, of the sons
of the Kohathites,
were
over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
13:009:033 And these are the singers, chief of the
fathers of the
Levites,
who remaining in the chambers were free: for they
were
employed in that work day and night.
13:009:034 These chief fathers of the Levites were
chief throughout their
generations;
these dwelt at Jerusalem.
13:009:035 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon,
Jehiel, whose wife’s
name
was Maachah:
13:009:036 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur,
and Kish, and Baal, and
Ner,
and Nadab.
13:009:037 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
13:009:038 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they
also dwelt with their
brethren
at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
