1 Chronicles

And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

Who hitherto waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.

Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
