Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out north. 15To Obed-Edom the south; and to his sons, the vestibules. 16To Hosah fell the west, namely, the chamber gate on the upper road. Watchman opposite watchman. 17On the east there were six a day, on the north four a day, on the south four a day, and for the vestibules two and two. 18For the colonnade on the west, four at the gateway, and two at the colonnade. 19These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari.
