1 Chronicles 9:25-27

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁵ From time to time their kinsmen had to come in from their towns to help them for seven days.

²⁶ For the four chief gatekeepers were on permanent duty; they were the L’vi’im in charge of accommodations and supplies in the house of God. ²⁷ They spent their nights in the vicinity of the house of God, because they were in charge of it; they were responsible for opening it up each morning.
