1 Chronicles 23:5Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionMoreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers, singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with. See the chapter |
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate. For so David, the man of God, had commanded.
And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun, the prophets of the king. And the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service. And therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them.
