1 Chronicles 26:18
16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway fell to Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch.
17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse.
As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
20 Now their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
