1 Chronicles 9:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ These gatekeepers from the tribe of Levi still stand next to the King’s Gate on the east side of the city. ¹⁹ Shallum was Kore’s son. Kore was Ebiasaph’s son. Ebiasaph was Korah’s son. Shallum and his relatives from the family of Korah were gatekeepers. They were responsible for guarding the gates of the Temple. Their ancestors had also been responsible for guarding the entrance to the Temple. ²⁰ In the past Phinehas was in charge of the gatekeepers. He was Eleazar’s son. The Lord was with Phinehas.
