1 Chronicles 9:22-24

21st Century King James Version

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.
