1 Chronicles 9:25 In-Context

23 They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the LORD—the house called the tent of meeting.
24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south.
25 Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day periods.

27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key for opening it each morning.
