1 Chronicles 26:13
Verse 13 of 32. The 26th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.
9Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, eighteen valiant men.
10Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him chief),
11Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. All the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen.
12Of these were the divisions of the doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having offices like their brothers, to minister in the LORD’s house.
13They cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers’ houses, for every gate.
14The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
15To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse.
16To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goes up, watchman opposite watchman.
17Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two.
