Bible verse
Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
1 Chronicles 9:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Chronicles 9.
17 These were the gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. Shallum was their chief;
18 he was previously stationed at the King’s Gate on the east side. These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the Levites.
19 Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from the Korahites were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent, just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD.
20 In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been in charge of the gatekeepers, and the LORD was with him.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
22 The number of those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds was 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their positions of trust.
23 So they and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the house of the LORD—the house called the Tent.
24 The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25 Their relatives came from their villages at fixed times to serve with them for seven-day periods.
