1 Chronicles 26:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² Each group of guards had a leader. Like the other Levites, each group had a job to do as they served the Lord in his temple. ¹³ They used lots to decide which family group would be the guards for each gate of the temple. They chose the jobs for everyone in the same way, important people and ordinary people.

¹⁴ They chose Shelemiah's group to be guards for the East gate. They chose his son Zechariah's group for the North gate. Zechariah was a wise man who gave good advice.
