1 Chronicles 26:12

The Divisions of the Gatekeepers

11Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah numbered 13 in all.12These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their brothers did.13They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
