1 Chronicles 26:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ The eastern gate went to the family of Shelemiah. Since his family was larger than Obed-edom’s and Shuppim’s, Shelemiah’s son Zechariah also drew lots for control of a gate. Zechariah, a prudent counselor, received control of the northern gate. ¹⁵ Obed-edom received control of the southern gate, and his sons went to work the temple storehouse within the gates. ¹⁶ Shuppim and Hosah were together given the western gate (which is near the gate of Shallecheth, on the ascending road). The guards stood side by side at their posts.
