Porters

“These were the gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives.”

“were over the laborers and supervised all who did the work, task by task. Some of the Levites were secretaries, officers, and gatekeepers.”

“The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them.”

“They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they were responsible for guarding it and opening it every morning.”

“This is what you are to do: A third of you priests and Levites who come on duty on the Sabbath shall keep watch at the doors,”

“a third shall be at the royal palace, and a third at the Foundation Gate, while all the others are in the courtyards of the house of the LORD.”

“Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.”

“They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.”
