1 Chronicles 9:25

“Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:”

Verse in context — 1 Chronicles 9

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards.

On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:

for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the rooms and over the treasuries in the house of God.

They lodged around the house of God, because that duty was on them; and to them pertained its opening morning by morning.
