They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. David and Samuel the seer established them in their office of trust. 23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the L ORD, that is, the house of the tent, as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south.
