12These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their chief men, had duties, just as their brothers did, ministering in the house of the Lord.
13And they cast lots by fathers ' houses, small and great alike, for their gates.
14The 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.
15Obed-edom 's came out for the south, and to his sons was allotted the gatehouse.
16For Shuppim and Hosah it came out for the west, at the gate of Shallecheth on the road that goes up. Watch corresponded to watch.
17On the east there were six each day, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, as well as two and two at the gatehouse.
18And for the colonnade on the west there were four at the road and two at the colonnade.
19These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the Korahites and the sons of Merari.
20And of the Levites, Ahijah had charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated gifts.
21The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers ' houses belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.
22The sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
