The Divisions Of The Gatekeepers

12 Of these were the divisions of the door-keepers, men of authority, having responsible positions like their brothers to be servants in the house of the Lord. 13 And the families were taken by the decision of the Lord for every door; the small family had the same chance as the great. 14 And the care of the door on the east came out for Shelemiah. Then the name of Zechariah his son, a man wise in discussion, came out, and the door on the north was given to him.
