The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,

All the Nethinim and the children of Solomon's servants were three hundred and ninety-two.

And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.
