The name of a division of the Korahite Levites, mentioned only in the genealogies of Priestly Narrative and the Chronicler. According to 1Ch 9:19; 26:1 (in the latter passage read Ebiasaph for Asaph), a section of the division acted as doorkeepers.
Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent; and their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entrance.
