1 Chronicles 9:28

26 But the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of the house of God.

27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they were responsible for guarding it and opening it every morning.

Some of them were in charge of the articles used in worship, to count them whenever they were brought in or taken out.

29 Others were put in charge of the furnishings and other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the fine flour, wine, oil, frankincense, and spices.

30 And some of the sons of the priests mixed the spices.
