Then during the reign of David, his greatest desire was to build a temple for his God. He spent much of his reign gathering things together, finances so he could build this; he wanted to build this temple. And he spent also a lot of time organizing the priesthood, so they could do various duties to serve in that temple once it was built. And this is a huge project, but I just want to focus on one little part.
That is a staggering number: 4,000. Now again, I went through earlier, there was a lot of duties and roles that the gatekeepers did, but this is a major responsibility on a grand scale.
