18 being stationed until ^H5704 now ^H2008 at the king’s ^H4428 gate ^H8179 to the east ^H4217).

19 Shallum ^H7967 the son ^H1121 of Kore ^H6981, the son ^H1121 of [fn]Ebiasaph ^H43, the son ^H1121 of Korah ^H7141, and his relatives ^H251 of his father’s ^H1 house ^H1004, the Korahites ^H7145, were over ^H5921 the work ^H4399 of the service ^H5656, keepers ^H8104 of the thresholds ^H5592 of the tent ^H168; and their fathers ^H1 had been over ^H5921 the camp ^H4264 of Yahweh ^H3068, keepers ^H8104 of the entrance ^H3996. 20 And Phinehas ^H6372 the son ^H1121 of Eleazar ^H499 was ruler ^H5057 over ^H5921 them previously ^H6440, and Yahweh ^H3068 was with him. 21 Zechariah ^H2148 the son ^H1121 of Meshelemiah ^H4920 was gatekeeper ^H7778 of the entrance ^H6607 of the tent ^H168 of meeting ^H4150. 22 All ^H3605 these who were chosen ^H1305 to be gatekeepers ^H7778 at the thresholds ^H5592 were 212 ^{H3967 H8147 H6240}. These ^H1992 were recorded ^H3187 by ^H3187 genealogy ^H3187 in their villages ^H2691, whom ^H1992 David ^H1732 and Samuel ^H8050 the seer ^H7203 established ^H3245 in their office of trust ^H530. 23 So they and their sons ^H1121 were over ^H5921 the gates ^H8179 of the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068, even the house ^H1004 of the tent ^H168, as those who kept ^H4931 watch ^H4931. 24 The gatekeepers ^H7778 were [fn]on the four ^H702 sides ^H7307, to the east ^H4217, west ^H3220, north ^H6828, and south ^H5045. 25 And their relatives ^H251 in their villages ^H2691 were to come ^H935 in ^H935 every seven ^H7651 days ^H3117 from time ^H6256 to time ^H6256 to be with [fn]them; 26 for the four ^H702 chief ^H5057 gatekeepers ^H7778 who ^H1992 were Levites ^H3881, were in an office of trust ^H530, and were over ^H5921 the chambers ^H3957 and over ^H5921 the treasuries ^H214 in the house ^H1004 of God ^H430. 27 And they spent ^H3885 the ^H3885 night ^H3885 all around ^H5439 the house ^H1004 of God ^H430, because ^H3588 the watch ^H4931 was [fn]committed ^H5921 to ^H5921 them; and they were over ^H5921 opening ^H4668 it morning ^H1242 by morning ^H1242.

28 Now some ^H4480 of them were over ^H5921 the utensils ^H3627 of service ^H5656, for [fn]they counted ^H4557 them when they brought ^H935 them in ^H935 and when they took ^H3318 them out ^H3318. 29 Some ^H4480 of them also were appointed ^H4487 over ^H5921 the furniture ^H3627 and over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the utensils ^H3627 of the sanctuary ^H6944 and over ^H5921 the fine ^H5560 flour ^H5560 and the wine ^H3196 and the oil ^H8081 and the frankincense ^H3828 and the spices ^H1314. 30 Some ^H4480 of the sons ^H1121 of the priests ^H3548 prepared ^H7543 the mixing ^H4842 of the spices ^H1314. 31 And Mattithiah ^H4993, one of the Levites ^H3881, who ^H1931 was the firstborn ^H1060 of Shallum ^H7967 the Korahite ^H7145, had the office of trust ^H530 over ^H5921 the things ^H4639 which were baked ^H2281 in ^H2281 pans ^H2281. 32 Some ^H4480 of their relatives ^H251 of the sons ^H1121 of the Kohathites ^H6956 were over ^H5921 the showbread ^H3899 H4635 to prepare ^H3559 it every ^H7676 sabbath ^H7676.

33 Now these ^H428 are the singers ^H7891, heads ^H7218 of fathers’ ^H1 households of the Levites ^H3881, who lived in the chambers ^H3957 of the temple free ^H6362 from other service; for they were over ^H5921 them in their work ^H4399 day ^H3119 and night ^H3915. 34 These ^H428 were heads ^H7218 of fathers’ ^H1 households of the Levites ^H3881 according to their generations ^H8435, the heads ^H7218 [fn]who ^H428 lived ^H3427 in Jerusalem ^H3389.
