1 Chronicles 26:13
Compare all
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the Lord.
13 And they acast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house.  
14 The lot for the East Gate fell to1 Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate;  
15 to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the1 storehouse.  
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the aascending highway—watchman opposite watchman.  
17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the1 storehouse two by two.  
18 As for the1 Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar.

1 Chronicles 26:13

They cast lots - for every gate - None of these captains or their companies were permitted to choose which gate they would guard, but each took his appointment by lot.
