20And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, [and] the LORD [was] with him.
21[And] Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah [was] porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22All these [which were] chosen to be porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
23So they and their children [had] the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, [namely], the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
24In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
