22 All those selected as gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212. They were in their settlements by their genealogical enrollment.+ David and Samuel the seer+ appointed these to their office of trust. 23 They and their sons were over the guard service for the gates of the house of Jehovah,+ the house of the tent. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides—east, west, north, and south.+ 25 From time to time, their brothers were to come in from their settlements for seven days to serve along with them. 26 There were four chief* gatekeepers in the office of trust. They were Levites, and they were in charge of the chambers* and of the treasuries of the house of the true God.+ 27 They would spend the night in their stations all around the house of the true God, for they cared for the guard service and were in charge of the key and would open up the house from morning to morning.
