2 Chronicles 23:4

You must do this: One third of you, the priests and Levites who are on duty on the day of worship, must guard the gates.

Their brothers in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day periods.

The Levites thirty years old or older were counted, and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.

David, Eleazar's descendant Zadok, and Ithamar's descendant Ahimelech divided Aaron's descendants into groups for service.

Lots were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.

He faithfully executed the priest's duties before God.
