All the chosen porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve, these [were] in their courts, [this was] their distribution: these David and Samuel the seer established in their charge.

For four strong [men] have the charge of the gates; and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God.

27 They lodged around the house of God, because that duty was on them; and to them pertained its opening morning by morning.

For the charge [was] upon them, and these [were] charged with the keys to open the doors of the temple every morning.

28 Certain of them were in charge of the vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out.
