1 Chronicles 9:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. (Shallum was in charge.) ¹⁸ Formerly, they were stationed at the king’s gate on the east side. They were the gatekeepers for the Levite quarters.

¹⁹ Shallum (son of Kore, grandson of Ebiasaph, great-grandson of Korah) and the members of his family (Korah’s descendants) were responsible for serving as watchmen at the entrances to the tent, as their ancestors had been in charge of guarding the entrances to the Lord’s camp.
