1 Chronicles - ch 9 v 21 - 40
- Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the Tent of Meeting.
- All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their office of trust.
- So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards.
- On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
- Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:
- for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.
- They lodged around the house of God, because that duty was on them; and to them pertained its opening morning by morning.
- 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.
- Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
- Some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices.
- Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans.
- Some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the show bread, to prepare it every Sabbath.
- These are the singers, heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, who lived in the chambers and were free from other service; for they were employed in their work day and night.
- These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, throughout their generations, chief men: these lived at Jerusalem.
- In Gibeon there lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, whose wife's name was Maacah:
- and his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
- and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
- Mikloth became the father of Shimeam. They also lived with their brothers in Jerusalem, over against their brothers.
- Ner became the father of Kish; and Kish became the father of Saul; and Saul became the father of Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
- The son of Jonathan was Merib Baal; and Merib Baal became the father of Micah.
