1 Chronicles 26:12-16

Divisions of the Gatekeepers

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their chief men, had duties, just as their brothers did, ministering in the house of the Lord. 13 And they cast lots by fathers' houses, k small and great alike, for their gates. 14 The lot for the east fell to Shelemiah. They cast lots also for his son Zechariah, a shrewd counselor, and his lot came out for the north. 15 Obed-edom's came out for the south, and to his sons was allotted l the gatehouse. 16 For Shuppim and j Hosah it came out for the west, at the gate of Shallecheth on the road that goes up. Watch corresponded to watch.
