1. Krønikebok 9,27

25 Deres slektninger fra deres bosetninger ville slutte seg til dem hver syvende dag periodisk;

26 for de fire overordnede portvaktene, som var levitter, ble betrodd rommene og skattkamrene i Guds hus.

De tilbrakte natten rundt Guds hus,
fordi vakten var betrodd dem;
og de hadde ansvaret for å åpne det morgen etter morgen.

28 Nå var noen av dem ansvarlige for tjenestens redskaper, for de talte dem når de brakte dem inn og når de tok dem ut.

29 Noen av dem var også utnevnt over møblene og over alle redskapene i helligdommen, og over det fine melet, vinen, oljen, røkelsen og krydderne.

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.
