the houses
1 Chronicles 9:10-34
10
And of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
11
and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God,
12
and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer,
13
and their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore, very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14
And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari,
15
and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph,
16
and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
17
And the doorkeepers were Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren; Shallum was the chief,
18
who hitherto waited in the King's Gate eastward; they were doorkeepers in the companies of the children of Levi.
19
And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle; and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entrance.
20
And 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 doorkeeper of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22
All these who were chosen to be doorkeepers at the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer had ordained in their set office.
23
So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by watches.
24
In four quarters were the doorkeepers: toward the east, west, north, and south.
25
And their brethren, who were in their villages, had to come after seven days from time to time with them.
26
For these Levites, the four chief doorkeepers, were in their trust, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
27
And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
28
And certain of them had charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tally.
29
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
30
And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
31
And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trust over the things that were made in the pans.
32
And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath.
33
And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free; for they were employed in that work day and night.
34
These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 11:10-20

Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin.
11
Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God.
12
And their brethren who did the work of the house were eight hundred twenty and two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,
13

14
and their brethren, mighty men of valor, were a hundred twenty and eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men.
15
Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
16
and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outside business of the house of God.
17
And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

Moreover the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren who kept the gates, were a hundred seventy and two.
20
And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.

1 Chronicles 23:1-26
1
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward; and their number by their head count, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand,
4
of whom twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, and six thousand were officers and judges.
5
Moreover four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments "which I made," said David, "to praise therewith."
6
And David divided them into divisions among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei.
8
The sons of Laadan: the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9
The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10
And the sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
12
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name for ever.
14
Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15
The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
16
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17
And the son of Eliezer was Rehabiah, the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18
Of the sons of Izhar, Shelomith was the chief.
19
Of the sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20
Of the sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.
21
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22
And Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them as wives.
23
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24
These were the sons of Levi according to the house of their fathers, even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their heads, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25
For David said, "The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever";
26
and also unto the Levites, "They shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof."
and according
2 Chronicles 8:14
And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests for their service, and the Levites to their charges to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the gatekeepers also by their courses at every gate, for so had David the man of God commanded.
