20 Now Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, was their ruler before the Lord.
21 But Zechariah, the son of Meshelemiah, was the keeper of the gate of the tabernacle of the testimony.
22 All these, chosen as porters for the gates, were two hundred twelve. And they were recorded in their own towns, those whom David, and the seer Samuel, appointed, in their faith,
23 as with them, so also with their sons, at the gates of the house of the Lord and the tabernacle, by their turns.
24 At the four directions, there were gatekeepers, that is, at the east, and at the west, and at the north, and at the south.
25 Now their brothers were staying in the villages, and they arrived on their Sabbaths, from time to time.
26 To these four Levites were entrusted the entire number of the gatekeepers, and they were over the chambers and storehouses of the house of the Lord.
