1 Chronicles 9:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ He was stationed at the King’s Gate on the east side. That duty has continued to this day. These guards belonged to the camp of the Levites.

¹⁹ Shallum was the son of Kore. Kore was the son of Ebiasaph. Ebiasaph was the son of Korah. Shallum and the other Levites in his family belonged to the family line of Korah. They had the duty of guarding the entrances to the tent. From long ago, their people had the duty of guarding the entrance to the house of the Lord.

²⁰ Long ago Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, was in charge of those who guarded the gate. And the Lord was with him.
