* And of the Levites ; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub , the son of Azrikam , the son of Hashabiah , of the sons of Merari ; * And Bakbakkar , Heresh , and Galal , and Mattaniah the son of Micah , the son of Zichri , the son of Asaph ; * And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah Sh @ma #yah #, the son of Galal , the son of Jeduthun , and Berechiah the son of Asa , the son of Elkanah , that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites . * And the porters were , Shallum , and Akkub , and Talmon , and Ahiman , and their brethren : Shallum was the chief ro #sh #; * Who hitherto waited in the kings gate eastward : they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi . * And Shallum the son of Kore , the son of Ebiasaph , the son of Korah , and his brethren , of the house of his father , the Korahites , were over the work of the service , keepers of the gates of the tabernacle : and their fathers , being over the host of the LORD , were keepers of the entry . * And Phinehas the son of Eleazar #El #azar # was the ruler over them in time past , and the LORD was with him . * And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #ed #. * All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve sh @nayim #. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages , whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office . * 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 . * In four quarters were the porters show #er #, toward the east , west , north , and south . * And their brethren , which were in their villages , were to come after seven days from time to time with them . * For these Levites , the four chief porters show #er #, were in their set office , and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God . * And they lodged round about the house of God , because the charge was upon them , and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them . * And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels , that they should bring them in and out by tale micpar #. * 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 . * And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices . * 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 . * And other of their brethren , of the sons of the Kohathites , were over the shewbread lechem # ma #areketh #, to prepare it every sabbath . * And these are the singers , chief of the fathers of the Levites , who remaining in the chambers were free (8675 ): for they were employed in that work day and night .
