1 Chronicles 9:22-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

²² All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve when they were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel, the seer, ordained in their set office.

²³ So they and their sons had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

²⁴ Towards the four winds were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and Negev.
