Then for Zechariah his son , a wise counsellor , they cast lots ; and his lot came out northward . * To Obededom southward ; and to his sons the house of Asuppim . * To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward , with the gate Shallecheth , by the causeway of the going up , ward against ward . * Eastward were six Levites , northward four a day , southward four a day , and toward Asuppim two and two . * At Parbar westward , four at the causeway , and two at Parbar . * These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore , and among the sons of Merari .
