1 Chronicles 26:20

Ahijah

18 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.

Now their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things.

21 From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,

22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
