¹⁵ Obed-Edom was ·chosen for [allotted] the South Gate, and Obed-Edom’s sons were ·chosen to guard [allotted] the storehouse. ¹⁶ Shuppim and Hosah were chosen for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the ·upper [ascending] road [^Cto the Temple].

·Guards stood side by side with guards [or Guard duty was evenly divided; ^LA guard alongside a guard]. ¹⁷ Six Levites stood guard every day at the East Gate; four stood guard every day at the North Gate; four stood guard every day at the South Gate; and two at a time guarded the storehouse.
