1 Chronicles 9:22-24

International Standard Version

²² All these, who had been set apart as gatekeepers at the entrances, numbered 212 and had been enrolled by genealogies in their villages.

David and Samuel the seer installed them in their positions of trust, ²³ so they and their descendants were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the House of the Tent, as guardians. ²⁴ The guardians were stationed on four sides—east, west, north, and south.
