1 Chronicles 9:26

“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.”

Verse in context — 1 Chronicles 9

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.

Certain of them were in charge of the vessels of service; for by count were these brought in and by count were these taken out.
